A 12.79-acre property at 1735 Shadyside Road in West Bradford Township is proposed to be divided into four lots. One single-family home is planned on each lot, for four new homes in all.
The land appears to be a vacant, wooded or open parcel in a residential (R1) zone. Real estate listings described it as vacant and without public water or sewer. That suggests the homes would use private wells and septic systems, but the records do not confirm it.
In June 2024 the township Planning Commission reviewed informal sketches for the parcel. They showed five or six lots, depending on whether Shadyside Road was realigned. The current four-lot proposal is smaller. No news coverage, opposition or approval decision was found.
What it could mean nearby
- Four new households would add some traffic on Shadyside Road. The 2024 sketches raised a possible road realignment, but no current plan confirms one.
- The homes would likely rely on private wells and septic systems, because listings describe no public water or sewer.
- Four lots is fewer than the five or six lots in the 2024 sketches, so the effect on the area would be smaller than in those earlier ideas.
Where it stands
A four-lot subdivision was filed with the county in August 2026. It is likely still in review, with no final approval found. Next come township planning commission and supervisor reviews, then conditional or final approval and building permits.
