The plan would split a 4.89-acre residential property at 400 Twining Ford Road into six lots for single-family detached homes. Each lot is about 20,000 square feet. A seventh lot would hold a stormwater basin, which soaks rain runoff into the ground. A homeowners' association would maintain the basin. The existing house and pool would be torn down. Public water and sewer would serve the homes.
Local news coverage reports that the Northampton Township supervisors approved the preliminary and final subdivision and land development plan. The township's April 2026 planning commission minutes list the project as the Twining Ford Road Subdivision. They mention requests to waive some requirements, including curbing and sidewalks, with a payment offered in place of sidewalks. No organized opposition was found. The article's publication date could not be confirmed, and the minutes could not be read in full.
What it could mean nearby
- Six new single-family homes would replace one house, which adds a small number of households to the area.
- The waiver requests for curbing and sidewalks along Twining Ford Road would affect how pedestrians and drivers use the frontage.
- The basin is meant to handle runoff from the new homes on site. The homeowners' association would be responsible for it.
- Public water and sewer would serve the homes, so no private wells or septic systems are planned.
