All bold-faced items listed on the Subdivision and Land Development application checklist (attached to the application) must be included in the submission or the application is considered incomplete. Incomplete applications will not be accepted under any circumstances.

In addition, all new applications must be accompanied by an executed professional services agreement along with all required fees and escrow. The Plumstead Township Fee Schedule is available by clicking here or at the Township municipal building.

Applications will be reviewed at the second Planning Commission meeting following submission. Therefore, if an application is submitted on the last Friday in September, it will be accepted for review by the Planning Commission in October and reviewed in November.

All applications must be reviewed by the Township within 90 days of the first Planning Commission meeting following submission. If the first scheduled meeting following submission is cancelled, then the application must be reviewed within 120 days of submission.

Resubmissions will be accepted on a rolling basis and will be placed on the next possible Planning Commission meeting agenda. The next possible Planning Commission meeting may not be the next Planning Commission meeting due to a full agenda or insufficient review time.
