A landowner proposes to divide a 26.4-acre property on Pebble Hill Road in Doylestown Township into eight residential lots. The property is currently used for homes and farming. Lot 1 would keep the existing house. Lots 2 through 8 would each get one new single-family house, for seven new homes in all.
The new lots would range from about 2.7 to 3.4 acres. Each home would use its own on-site well and septic system, so no public water or sewer lines are planned. The tract is preserved under Pennsylvania's Act 319 (Clean and Green), a program that gives farmland and open land a lower property tax rate.
No news coverage, developer website, or township agenda or minutes about this specific project were found online. The description above rests on the county planning record alone.
What it could mean nearby
- Seven new households would add some traffic to Pebble Hill Road. No traffic study was found.
- Lots of about 3 acres would keep the area low-density, and part of the farmland would become house lots.
- On-lot wells and septic systems mean no new public utility extensions are planned. The records do not say how the wells and septic would be tested or reviewed.
Where it stands
The county's latest filing is dated 2026-02-24, so the plan appears to be in local subdivision review. No decision was found online. Next, the township planning commission and supervisors usually review the plan and vote on preliminary and final approval, and the county planning commission also reviews it.
