Controversial Housing Plan Rejected by Stratford Zoning Commission

STRATFORD, CT — A controversial housing plan to build 72 homes on less than 5 acres on James Farm Road has been rejected by the Stratford Zoning Commission, according to the Connecticut Post.

The Post reports the commission had been bombarded with letters from neighbors opposed to the plan for various reasons.

Despite the rejection, town officials told the Post that they expect the developer to come back with a revised plan and he could also end up taking the town to court if that is turned down.

About 30 percent of the proposed homes would be classified as affordable housing and state statues offer protection for some projects if there’s a shortage of affordable housing in town, according to the Post.
