A developer has filed a plan to divide a 14.5-acre former nursery on the south side of New Road, south of Cedarbrook Drive in Northampton Township, into 18 lots for single-family detached homes. The lots would be roughly 23,000 to 45,000 square feet each, which is about half an acre to a little over an acre.

The site now holds a greenhouse and related structures. The plan would demolish them and remove the existing trees. Two stormwater basins would be built to collect and slow rainwater runoff. Public water and public sewer would serve the new homes.

No news coverage, township meeting records, or developer web pages specific to this project were found, so no information on opposition, approvals or who will live there is available beyond the county filing.
