Four new single-family homes are proposed on about 7.8 acres along Cedar Hill Road in Lower Gwynedd Township. The land is now two existing parcels, 1512 and 1524 Cedar Hill Road, each with an existing house. Township records say those houses would be demolished. The parcels would be combined and then split into four building lots.
The homes would use public water and sewer, and each would have its own driveway onto Cedar Hill Road. Each lot would manage its own stormwater. A six-foot-wide walking trail along the road frontage would replace regular sidewalks.
The developer is Tisman Group, LLC, and STA Engineering prepared the plans. Township records show the Planning Commission recommended an earlier version in October 2025. A revised plan went back to the Planning Commission in spring 2026 and then to the Board of Supervisors. No news coverage or organized opposition was found.
What it could mean nearby
- Four new driveways would open onto Cedar Hill Road, which adds turning movements on that road.
- The trail along the frontage would give walkers a path in place of sidewalks.
- The project adds four homes, replacing two existing ones, so the net gain is modest.
- Public water and sewer service means no wells or septic systems are planned.
Where it stands
The Board of Supervisors considered the revised plan on April 28, 2026, and the minutes record a unanimous vote on the revisions. A final decision and construction start were not confirmed in the sources found. After approval, the developer usually has to satisfy the approval conditions, get final permits, and then build.
