Arbour Gates is the result of a legal victory dating to the early 1990s — a final ruling on February 13, 1998 permitted just four estate lots in Halton Hills. With Doug Ford's reversal of all Greenbelt removals, developments like this can no longer be created anywhere in Halton Hills or many other locations. The Town of Milton is legally bound to honour this ruling. These four lots are, quite simply, irreplaceable.
Legal proceedings between the developers and the Town of Milton started in the early 1990s, culminating in a final ruling on February 13, 1998 — which permitted just four estate lots. This victory was kept quiet by the developers for many years until the time was right.
With Doug Ford's reversal of all Greenbelt land removals, the available areas to build estate properties like Stonegate Estates instantly became scarce — and therefore more valuable. The Town of Milton has no choice but to honour a decision made over two decades ago. There will be no others like it.
