The biggest red flag? Public safety. Board members and the Fire Chief discussed how response times to this site could exceed national standards. With the nearest station in Derry, the impact on emergency services and resident insurance rates is a major concern.

Traffic is another flashpoint. While the Board ordered a developer-funded town-wide traffic study, members admitted the potential for a "nightmare" on local roads. We are looking at 1,000+ new homes and nearly 100,000 sq ft of commercial space.

As this conceptual plan moves forward, Londonderry residents deserve to know: Will our infrastructure catch up before the density arrives? Follow for updates as we track these decisions. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/londonderry/planning-board/2026-05-13/

Longer-form draft.
At the May 13 Planning Board meeting, the scale of future development in Londonderry was laid bare, and the concerns raised by both officials and residents are significant. The discussion centered largely on a massive proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD) at 109 Auburn Road, which would add approximately 1,028 residential units and 99,000 square feet of commercial/industrial space to our community. While the Board is moving forward with oversight—including ordering a developer-funded town-wide traffic study—the conversation revealed serious doubts about our town's readiness. Board members expressed blunt concerns regarding traffic safety and congestion, with one member even describing the potential impact as a "nightmare." Most critically, public safety was a major theme. Discussion turned to fire and EMS response times, noting that the proposed site's distance from existing stations could lead to delays that exceed national standards. The Fire Chief highlighted how station proximity directly affects community insurance (ISO) ratings. As this massive project moves from a "conceptual plan" toward reality, the question remains: Can Londonderry’s infrastructure and emergency services support this level of density without compromising resident safety? https://meetingwatch.org/nh/londonderry/planning-board/2026-05-13/ #MeetingWatch #LondonderryNH
