Plans have been lodged for a hotel and luxury ‘eco suites’ at a Scottish ski centre.
Proposals have been put forward for the ‘destination holiday resort of 140 keys’, or rooms, that will include ’38 luxury eco–suites, individually set in the landscape and 102 traditional hotel rooms within a main hub including a presidential suite.’
The ‘sustainable’ hotel site is at Calderstone at the Hillend dry ski slope operated as Midlothian Snowsports Centre, which is the subject of a multi–million pound revamps plan.
The hub will include restaurants, a spa, a conference centre and leisure facilities.
An application has been lodged with Midlothian Council for the plans with ADP submitting a statement on behalf of Landscape Hotels Ltd.
It is claimed the ‘low carbon hotel will use’ a timber frame structure from, whenever possible, locally sourced sustainably sourced timber and renewable energy in the form of Solar PV’s will be used extensively.’
It stated that Air Source heat pumps will be used throughout. The use of timber frame cross-laminated timber creates a highly airtight building, greywater harvesting; significant investment into landscaping biodiversity and natural sustainable drainage solutions. The project has been sympathetically designed to blend into the surrounding countryside.
