The county records describe a plan to divide an 18.7-acre property at 50 Dilworthtown Road in Thornbury Township, Delaware County, into seven lots. Each lot would get one single-family detached house, so seven new homes in all.
The records don't say what is on the land now. A tract of this size is usually open land or a large property with an existing house. The firms on the filing are KCH, LLC, which appears to be the applicant, and Howell Engineering, which appears to be the engineer.
No news coverage, township meeting minutes, developer web page or opposition was found for this project, so the details above come from the county filing alone.
What it could mean nearby
- Seven homes is a small number, so added traffic on Dilworthtown Road would likely be modest. No traffic study was found.
- The average lot would be well over two acres. That suggests low-density development, though the lot layout and any preserved open space are not confirmed.
- Water, sewer and stormwater plans were not found, so the effects on utilities are unknown.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is dated 2025-06-19, which suggests the plan was submitted for review that year. No approval or denial was found online. Usually the county planning commission reviews a subdivision and gives advice, and then the township decides on preliminary and final approval.
