First: Traffic. Two 12-unit townhouse developments (3 Page Rd & 295 Rockingham Rd) were approved. Residents noted that studies for these projects ignore the intersection of Page & Mammoth Rd—the community's primary concern. The Board deferred mitigation to the Town Council.

Second: Drainage. For the Dicky Street project, the Board granted a waiver for drainage requirements despite staff reporting inaccurate soil calculations and risks of water discharge into neighboring properties. One board member voted 'Nay' on engineering grounds.

Finally: Zoning. Residents questioned the increase of residential units in Commercial 2 zones. The Board clarified that as a quasi-judicial body, they cannot change zoning—and for these applications, it's already too late. #Londonderry https://meetingwatch.org/nh/londonderry/planning-board/2026-04-01/

Longer-form draft.
At the April 1st Planning Board meeting, several decisions were made that directly impact the safety and character of our neighborhoods, often despite technical warnings or public outcry. First, the Board approved two separate 12-unit townhouse developments (3 Page Road and 295 Rockingham Road). While residents explicitly pointed out that the traffic studies for these projects fail to address the cumulative impact on the intersection of Page Road and Mammoth Road, the Board moved forward with approvals. They have tasked the Town Council with negotiating traffic mitigation through a development agreement, rather than requiring updated studies now. Second, there was a notable disagreement regarding the Dicky Street site plan. Town staff raised serious technical concerns, stating that the applicant's drainage calculations used incorrect soil data and could lead to water discharging onto abutting properties. Despite these warnings and a 'Nay' vote from a board member citing engineering concerns, the Board granted the necessary waivers to move the project forward. Finally, the Board addressed community frustration regarding multi-family residential buildings being placed in Commercial 2 zones. The Board's response was that they are bound by existing regulations and that the window to change the zoning for these specific projects has already closed. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/londonderry/planning-board/2026-04-01/ #MeetingWatch #LondonderryNH
