Scotch Corner Designer Village is pitching more than a retail development story. In this presentation, Simon Waterfield and Sarah Hodkinson set out why the site’s location at the junction of the A1M and A66, its existing pre-let momentum, and its operational outlet model could turn it into one of the UK’s most closely watched designer outlet projects ahead of its planned Autumn 2027 opening.
