Housebuilder Vistry Group has secured planning consent to build 320 new homes in Windsor.
The 38-acre development will be called Windsor Arch and will feature a mix of one and two-bedroom apartments and two, three, four and five-bedroom houses, alongside a community building and 11 acres of open space.
A further 5.4 acres of land will be provided for a special educational needs school, which will be the subject of a separate reserved matters application.
Trevor Wicks, managing director for Vistry Thames Valley, said: “The construction programme here is expected to span the next five years, creating new jobs on site and within the local supply chain.
“We are planning to start work in early 2025 with the first homes being due for completion in early 2026.”
All the homes will benefit from low-carbon space and water heating, with air source heat pumps, solar PV panels and wastewater heat recovery systems.
At least 128 will be affordable properties available for local people through low-cost rent or shared ownership, while 10 plots will have customisable layouts.
The private homes will be built under Vistry’s Bovis Homes brand.
