NEWTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — Toll Brothers' proposal for a 41-unit residential development at Rt. 413 and Twining Bridge Road will not be in front of the Newtown Township Planning Commission Tuesday as previously scheduled.

Toll Brothers has requested its application for a residential development on a 152-acre parcel be removed from the agenda. The application will likely be heard at the Feb. 4 Planning Commission meeting, Township Manager Micah Lewis said.

The application will also be in front of the Newtown Township Board of Supervisors for a conditional use hearing. That hearing, which has been opened and continued by the supervisors, is currently scheduled to resume on Feb. 12.

The application seeks permission to construct a 41-unit residential development at the Archdiocese property. 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.

Last year, an informal proposal from Toll Brothers to construct more than 170 residential units on the same property was overwhelmingly opposed by township residents in attendance at a public meeting.
