Aurora council has voted to oppose an Ontario Land Tribunal appeal involving a proposal to replace a single-family home on Heathwood Heights Drive with five detached houses. Council has directed the town solicitor to defend Aurora’s position before the tribunal, with Mayor Tom Mrakas arguing the development is incompatible with the neighbourhood’s established character and represents overdevelopment of the site.
