Less than a month after the Council on Affordable Housing was suspended by the state, Haddonfield had its third-round housing element and fair share plan finally approved after more than five years of litigation.
The borough was set to have its plan approved this past February, but Gov. Chris Christie put a temporary 90 day ban on any action taken by COAH.
The approval of Haddonfield’s plan means the Scarce Resource Restraint will be lifted from the borough. The restraint was essentially an order from COAH that prohibited any substantial new construction within Haddonfield, other than single properties. The Scarce Resource Restraint was levied against Haddonfield in November of 2004.
