Hearing For Newtown Toll Brothers Development To Be Continued
There will be no consideration by the board, and the hearing will be immediately continued to a later date, township officials said.
NEWTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — The Newtown Township Board of Supervisors on Wednesday will open and continue a conditional use hearing for a proposal by Toll Brothers to construct a residential development on a 152-acre parcel at Rt. 413 and Twining Bridge Road.
There will be no consideration by the board, and the hearing will be immediately continued to a later date, Newtown Township Manager Micah Lewis said.
The conditional use application seeks permission to construct a 41-unit residential development. Conditional use approval is required because Toll is proposing to use a cluster option when configuring the development. The application includes an onsite wastewater treatment facility.

That plan would have required a zoning amendment.

The current residential plan is for a "by-right" use, which means the current zoning allows for such a development, township officials have said.
