Nearly 90 new homes will rise in south London near a popular forest and walking trail, a decision council made grudgingly to avoid a long and expensive appeal.
A committee recommendation to refuse the development proposed for 101 Meadowlily Rd. S. was overturned Tuesday night, as council approved the plans that riled neighbours, environmentalists and fans of the nearby Meadowlily Woods walking trails.

People in a Toronto neighbourhood are speaking out against a proposed condo building Brad Lamb s development firm wants to build on the same spot where his tenants recently had to flee a carbon monoxide leak.
The area at Bloor and Symington is primarily an area of low-rise buildings and two- and three-storey homes.
The mixed-used building proposed for 1405 Bloor Street West is in the same location as the auto garage where nine people were evacuated in a carbon monoxide leak.
The lands are in the Malden Planning Area in southwest Windsor, east of the Ojibway Prairie Complex.
The city expropriated 187 lots owned by the Paciorka family in the 2000s as part of an effort to preserve the natural heritage area.
Jason Beitchman, a lawyer for the owners, said they are very pleased with the decision. We re cautiously optimistic that this is one step closer to the end of the process, he said.
The dispute surrounded whether the expropriated land should be considered residential for the purposes of compensation to the owners, or environmentally protected, meaning that the property would have a lower market value given restrictions on development.
