Housing development inching forward in Lower Makefield

Local builder DeLuca Homes has proposed 47 single-family homes on a 49-acre parcel that was once the Wright Farm in Lower Makefield Township. The tract at 1878 Yardley-Newtown Road sits directly south of more than 100 existing homes known as Bridle Estates. Residents of Bridle Estates are unhappy that the sole access to the new development is to be through their neighborhood on Surrey Lane, currently a dead-end road. The developers noted they reached out to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation about other access points to the development and were refused, leaving Surrey Lane access as the only option. After hours of discussion and public comment, planning commission members voted to recommend several items to the supervisors and directed the township’s traffic engineer to conduct a speed study in Bridle Estates, but tabled the discussion for the overall project until a future meeting because the developer still has more than 100 points in the engineer’s review letter to consider.
