A 9.45-acre residential property on the south side of New Road in Northampton Township would be divided into five single-family lots. The lots range from about 1.07 to 2.95 acres.
The existing buildings would be torn down, except the house on Lot 2, which would stay. Lots 1, 3, 4 and 5 would each get one new single-family home, so four new homes in all. Each would connect to public water and sewer.
No news coverage, developer project page, meeting minutes or hearing decisions about this specific site were found online. Nothing is known yet about opposition, approvals or who would buy the homes.
What it could mean nearby
- Four new households would add some traffic on New Road, and the plan would need driveway and access layouts reviewed.
- Lots of 1 to 3 acres keep the density low compared with a typical subdivision.
- Public water and sewer service means the homes would not need wells or septic systems.
Where it stands
A filing was made with the county on 2025-11-18, so the plan is under review. Usually the township planning commission reviews the plan and advises, then the township supervisors vote on approval. Engineering and stormwater details are often settled before final approval.
