300 homes could be coming to a new subdivision in a Lexington community
More than three hundred new homes could be coming to Lexington soon if a new housing development gets approval from the town planning commission on Wednesday. Meritage Homes is asking the Lexington Planning Commission to approve sketches for a new subdivision on 191 acres along the 300 block of Barr Road. The plans call for 308 single-family homes on lots with an average size 1,746 square feet. The new houses would go on the west side of town, close to the playing fields at the Barr Road Sports Complex, Lexington Presbyterian Church and a facility where school buses are parked. Besides the housing, the new development will include a pool, clubhouse, pickleball courts and multiple fire pit seating areas, according to documents filed with the planning commission. 'The plan also includes a trail system that traverses the length of the property and aligns with a master trail plan being developed for the area,' the documents say. Plans include 73 acres of open space and a 50-foot landscaped buffer along Barr Road. The subdivision will have entrances on Barr and West Main Streets, as well as a rear emergency entrance near the amenities onto Wing Hill Drive. The developers will have to provide the town with a traffic study before work can begin, and the project may require intersection improvements on Barr Road at West Main and Wildlife Road. The area is zoned for residential suburban development, and the plans meet town density and lot size requirements, planning documents produced by town staff say. The new development would include publicly maintained roads with sidewalks, although roads planned to be constructed over existing pond dams in the area will likely not be accepted by Lexington County for maintenance, the report said. The Lexington Planning Commission will consider approval of the sketch plan at an 8 a.m. meeting Wednesday. Solve the daily Crossword

Traffic fears as 110-home plan for town revealed
This story is only available to Hereford Times subscribers. Click here to find out why and how to subscribe for exclusive stories. More than a hundred new homes could be built in the smallest of Herefordshire's market towns. An outline planning application (number 251919) by Dorset-registered Kington LVA proposes 'up to 110' houses on five hectares of undulating farmland east of Kingswood Road, Kington, of which 30 would be for social rent and a further nine for discounted market sale. The applicants were told in a 'positive' pre-planning response from Herefordshire Council planners that this, along with the proposed open-market mix of one- to four-bedroom homes, would be 'acceptable'. RELATED NEWS: Plans for bigger chicken sheds at Lady Arbour Farm near Kington Development land at Headbrook, Kington, for sale Anger as locals 'ignored' on new solar farm in countryside The plan would 'integrate pockets of public open space throughout the development', which would be linked by paths to the modern estate off Old Eardisley Road to the east as well as to Kingswood Road, where the main road access would be. The proposed new homes would make up over half of the 'around 200' new homes by 2031 which the county's local plan commits to building in the town. But this figure is expected to rise as the plan is redrafted following pressure from the government to build thousands more homes in the county. Aerial view of the proposed development site In March a leaflet explaining the proposal was distributed to 218 nearby properties, which drew 49 responses. Most of these 'were not supportive', with only three backing the development, a report on the exercise says. What are your thoughts? You can send a letter to the editor to have your say by clicking here. Letters should not exceed 250 words and local issues take precedence. It adds that residents' narrow rejection of a proposed neighbourhood development plan for the town six years ago had been largely down to whether this site should be earmarked for new housing – and that several residents felt that for this reason it should not now be built on. OTHER NEWS: Indian restaurant loses licence after immigration raid River named among worst for 'under-the-radar' chemicals Jump in size of extension to Herefordshire town branded 'predatory' Respondents' main concern was over the extra traffic it would bring – though the report says that 'would not give rise to a highway safety impact'. Comments on the application can be made until August 14. The details of the house design, layout and surrounding landscaping would follow in a later application if this one is approved.
