A developer has proposed dividing a 1.29-acre lot at 2241 Old Welsh Road in Abington Township, near Fairview Avenue, into seven lots. Six new single-family homes would be built. The existing brick house would stay on the seventh lot.
Each new home would have its own underground stormwater basin. These basins hold rainwater during storms and release it slowly. The homes would connect to public water and sewer. The county planning comments generally support the plan.
No news coverage, township meeting records or developer webpage specific to this project was found online. Nearby listings describe other small new-home projects on Old Welsh Road, but they were not confirmed as part of this one.
What it could mean nearby
- Six added households would bring modest extra traffic to Old Welsh Road and Fairview Avenue. The records give no traffic study.
- Public water and sewer connections mean the homes would not need wells or septic systems.
- Underground stormwater basins are meant to manage runoff from the new roofs and driveways.
Where it stands
The latest county filing, dated March 2024, shows the plan under county review, and the county generally supports it with comments. Next, the township would usually review the subdivision and land development plan, with approval conditions, before any building permits are issued. No township decision was found online.
