Developer appealing Lebanon’s decision to torpedo Prospect Hills housing project

LEBANON — A Manchester development firm is using a new avenue in its appeal of the city’s decision to effectively kill a 117-unit housing project near Lebanon Middle School, saying the proposal was met with “hostility and dislike” by officials.
Brady Sullivan argues the Lebanon Planning Board acted unfairly when it voted unanimously in March to deny the Prospect Hills subdivision an extension needed to start work on its second phase.
At the time, officials said they’d allowed the developer enough leeway. The second phase — a mix of single-family homes and townhouse-style units on a 40-acre wooded parcel off Prospect Street — was first proposed 15 years ago, and the Planning Board issued renewals in 2016 and 2018.
