A 350-home development in Calverton will increase in size after councillors approved amended plans for 101 houses within the wider site.
The homes will be added to the Forest View development in the village, with amendments made to sections of the land where homes will be built.
In total, it will take the originally-approved total of homes up by 12 to 363.
The wider development, initially approved by councillors in September 2020, is being brought forward by housing developer Persimmon Homes.
Dozens of homes have already been delivered on the development.
But the most recent application will see amendments to the original plans for part of the land not currently built on, including the re-sizing of some homes and an increase in the number of properties.
The changes were proposed due to issues with a private right of way and because of “a previously unknown water pipe that runs through the eastern part of the site”.
Council officers say the layout of the amended plans ”broadly follow” the previous designs but some homes have now been shifted onto separate land.
The developer was initially expected to submit plans for 89 homes on this section of the land before the amended proposals were submitted.
Through the extra 12 homes being proposed on the development, taking its total to 363 rather than 351, three extra affordable homes will be provided through the development.
This takes the total across the plans to 73, with 51 for affordable rent and 22 for shared ownership.
Nigel Bryan, a council planning officer, presented the development to councillors this week.
He told the meeting: “The main change is the number of units. The house types would largely be the same as previously approved.
“In terms of the additional 12, that would result in three additional affordable housing units. That would be two additional rental properties, at four-bed units, and one shared ownership.
“The developer has started on the site and we can see decent detailing on existing homes. It complies with outline planning permission already approved and we’re recommending approval.”
Councillor John Truscott (Lab), who represents Porchester, is chairman of the planning committee.
He added: “To all intents and purposes, this was approved already back in September 2020, so there shouldn’t be anything too contentious about it.”
Members of the committee unanimously approved Persimmon Homes’ plans.
A spokesperson for the developer previously said: “Contributions of around £5 million will be made towards local education, public transport, health services and open spaces on and around the development, amongst other benefits.
“We are also pleased to be creating jobs in construction and the supply chain which brings a boost to Calverton’s economy and the region overall.”
