The Planning Board receives its authority from the State of New Hampshire Revised Statutes
Annotated (RSA) 672- 678 and the Town of Londonderry Charter (1996). The Planning Board
adopts site plan and subdivision regulations, and recommends to the Town Council, the zoning
ordinances for adoption. These tools allow our municipal government to meet the demands of
evolving growth as well as to enhance the public health, safety and general welfare. They also
encourage the appropriate and wise use of land.
The membership is governed by RSA 673:2 and the Town of Londonderry Charter, and consists
of nine members and three alternate members. The members must be residents of Londonderry.
Of the nine full members, one is a Town Council ex-officio, one is the Town Manager ex-officio
or designee and one is a Town administrative official, selected by the Town Manager. Other than
the ex-officio members, all members have three year staggered terms and are appointed by the
Town Council. The alternate members vote when appointed by the Chair for an absent full
member. This excludes the ex-officio members.
The year 2023 proved to be quite busy for the Planning Board. Economic activity overall has
increased from 2022, especially new subdivision and site plans, reflecting current economic
factors.
