A shopping centre and community facilities have also been incorporated into the plans.
Highway works will be undertaken to provide new junctions and improve existing junctions on Pye Green Road and Limepit Lane. A network of pedestrian crossing facilities and cycle paths will also be created.
Subject to consent being granted early in the new year, work is due to begin on site in spring 2013.
