A developer plans to divide a wooded property of about 9.4 acres at 765 South Collegeville Road in Upper Providence into 11 lots. Each lot would hold one single-family detached house. A new street would serve all the lots and connect to Amanda Lane and the upper part of Lovers Lane.
The site is wooded now, and about half of it has steep slopes. That may limit where houses, the road and stormwater controls can go.
The township's planning commission agenda from October 2024 lists the project as an 11-lot subdivision preliminary plan. No news coverage, opposition, approval decision or builder information was found online.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic: all 11 homes would use one new street tied into Amanda Lane and Lovers Lane, so those streets would carry the added trips.
- Open space: wooded land would be cleared for homes and the road, and the steep slopes make grading and drainage a likely review topic.
- Housing: the plan adds 11 single-family homes, a small increase compared with larger developments.
Where it stands
The plan was at the preliminary plan stage, and the township's planning commission was due to review it in late 2024. Its current status was not found. Usual next steps are review by the township supervisors, then a final plan approval, then permits before construction.
