Event
Shawfair is set to welcome an exciting new community leisure destination, as a Proposal of Application Notice has been lodged with Midlothian Council for a proposed tennis and padel centre at Whitehills, Whitehill Road, Millerhill.
The proposals include an accessible & affordable tennis and padel centre alongside a café/bar, gym and retail offering, set within a landscaped environment with car and cycle parking. The facility would be a welcome addition to Whitehills, a commercial destination already taking shape by Fort Kinnaird, where Arnold Clark and Eastern Western Motor Group are among confirmed future occupiers.
A public exhibition of the proposals will be held on Wednesday 22nd April 2026 from 16:00 to 19:30 at Danderhall Community Hub & a second event will be held on Thursday 21st May at Queen Margaret University . We would encourage local residents and the wider community to come along, view the plans and share their feedback ahead of a formal planning application being submitted to Midlothian Council.
