Two applications for a total of 200 homes in Cookham in Berkshire have been backed by councillors in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.
There will be a mix of one to five-bedroom properties, with houses, coach houses and maisonettes.
Homes will feature air source heat pump systems and solar panels to generate low-carbon energy.
Ben Stacey, Bellway strategic land director (south), said: “This site had been identified as suitable for new homes as the borough seeks to deliver 14,000 properties before 2033.
“Our proposals considered the broad mix of homes required in the area, the need for affordable housing and how green spaces could be designed for the benefit of residents and the environment.
“The resulting design shows a sustainable community centred around open spaces and tree-lined avenues, with additional planting to enhance the nearby woodland.
“We are pleased that the committee recognised the benefits that this development would bring to the area, providing attractive homes within a sensitive extension to Cookham.”
Bellway has agreed to contribute an estimated £4.95 million through the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).
The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Council will decide where to distribute the funds, which could include education, healthcare or transport improvements.
The 200 homes are split across two adjoining parcels of land subject to separate applications.
The first is a full application for 160 homes on the western parcel, with an outline application for five self-build properties. The second part is a full application for 34 homes on the eastern parcel, with an outline application for one self-build property.
Following the committee’s resolution to grant, the Section 106 legal agreements will now be completed, prior to the formal issuing of the decision notices.
