A church is proposed on a 6.65-acre site on Highland Road in East Bradford Township, Chester County. The plan calls for a building of about 6,347 square feet, plus a parking area. That is a fairly small building for the size of the lot, so most of the land would likely stay open or undeveloped.
The county record doesn't say what is on the site now, which congregation would use it, or who the developer is. Searches for township agendas, minutes, news coverage and a developer page found nothing about this project. The details here come only from the county planning record.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic would likely come mostly on worship days and at scheduled events, not all week. The records contain no traffic study.
- The 6.65-acre lot is large compared with the building, so some open space could remain. The records don't give a site layout.
- The records say nothing about schools, new homes or utilities, and a church of this size would not normally add housing.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is dated 2024-04-12. It is a land development application, which the township reviews and then approves or denies. No approval or decision was found online. Next steps usually include planning commission review, a vote by the township supervisors, and then construction permits.
