Development Timeline Extension under House Bill 413 in Plymouth

planned

House Bill 413 changes the development timeline for projects in Plymouth, New Hampshire. It extends the time developers have to begin active and substantial development from two years to three years after site plan approval, and extends the protection against zoning changes from five years to seven years. This applies retroactively to projects approved after July 1, 2023, potentially allowing longer development timelines, such as a hotel project having up to ten years to complete construction without new zoning impacts. However, the one-year requirement to meet conditions before construction remains unchanged.
