Hi Chimebell
Lylesback2 is partly right. Only the first farm south of Derry road on the west side for the first 400 metres is in the Niagara Escarpment Commission rural area which only allows existing uses which means no development ever.
The remaining properties south to Britannia road, west to the half lot line or forest area half way between Tremaine and Bell School Line are part of the Milton Education Village Secondary Plan which is dependent on the Provincial government approving a post-secondary campus on the Town's 150 acre portion of the 450 acre plan area. (see attached link)
http://www.milton.ca/en/build/MEVSecondaryPlan.aspThere are a number of other uses planned for the area but it could take a number of years as the Ministry of Colleges and Universities is still reviewing the Laurier University application for an initial 3000 student campus which even if approved would take about 3 years to build.
Lylesback2, the new Mattamy releases have been held up due to the delay in the allocation program at the Region which was not fully subscribed by builders for the full 8500 home plan for this area and the first phase of the Boyne Survey south of Louis St. Laurent. I understand from staff that the builders are working out some details with the Town and Region to possibly release these homes later in the year for the Patterson property. Keep checking the Mattamy website for more details.
