Developers planning to put 434 town houses and condominiums on Wilmington's Brandywine Creek are getting a nod of approval from the city's Design Review and Preservation Commission.

The panel voted 4-to-2 in favor of the proposal last night, despite objections from area residents that the project is too big.

The homes are planned for the former Bancroft Mills site and the development will require the demolition of most of the mill buildings, which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The approval, however, is contingent upon a review of the demolition plan by city inspectors and the Planning Commission's approval of a subdivision plan.
