The plan involves custom homes, on-site septic, and a new road designed to eventually become a town road. While this was a preliminary presentation, a final subdivision application is expected this summer. Residents should prepare for upcoming votes.

During the meeting, neighbors raised a critical issue: the demand for smaller, more affordable housing. However, the board noted that current 4-acre zoning limits prevent increasing the number of lots, even when using cluster zoning to save on infrastructure costs.

What's next? A wetland scientist will refresh site flagging in early July. The Planning Board and Fire Department must also coordinate on driveway designs and emergency access before the final application is submitted. Stay informed. #NewLondon https://meetingwatch.org/nh/new-london/planning-board/2026-05-26/

Longer-form draft.
New development plans were brought before the New London Planning Board on May 26 regarding a proposed 8-lot cluster subdivision on King Hill Road. This 40-acre project would feature custom homes and a new road that is intended to eventually be transitioned into a town road. While the presentation was preliminary and no formal vote was taken, the meeting highlighted a recurring tension in our community: the balance between development and housing affordability. A resident specifically questioned whether the density could be increased—to perhaps 10 homes instead of 8—to meet the demand for smaller, lower-priced housing options. The board and developer noted that current zoning regulations, which require 4-acre minimums, currently prevent higher density regardless of the clustering method used. Residents should watch for the developer's final subdivision application and HOA documents, which are expected later this summer. Additionally, the Fire Department and Planning Board are tasked with meeting to ensure that driveway designs and emergency access (including cistern requirements) are properly addressed before any final approvals. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/new-london/planning-board/2026-05-26/ #MeetingWatch #NewLondonNH
