What is the timeframe for a subdivision or land development application to be approved?
Each subdivision and land development plan is reviewed and acted upon within the statutory requirements of the Silver Spring Township Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance, the Zoning Ordinance, and the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code. The Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code permits up to 90 days for the Township to review each plan and the applicant may wish to grant time extensions if deemed necessary.
