Harmony Hills passes Kent County appeal as “by right”

The decision

The Harmony Hills development passed an appeal in Kent County as a “by right” project under SB23. The decision is tied to the project’s approval process and its treatment under the state law.

Delaware Public Media reported on the appeal and the project’s status. The decision places Harmony Hills within the “by right” category identified by SB23.

What “by right” means here

In this case, “by right” describes the legal status used for the Harmony Hills development during the appeal. The designation is part of the decision reported for the Kent County project.

The appeal outcome does not by itself establish details about construction timing, the number of homes, project costs or other development conditions. Those details are not part of the decision described here.

Why the appeal matters

The appeal addressed whether Harmony Hills could proceed under the “by right” treatment associated with SB23. The project passed that appeal in Kent County.

The decision is relevant to housing and development because it determines how this project is treated under the law. Further steps in the project process will depend on the approvals and actions required after the appeal.
