Bovis Homes will build 95 new homes in Coombe Hill near Cheltenham after purchasing land bordering the A38.
The housebuilder has secured outline planning consent to build 57 private and 38 affordable homes.
Bovis Homes, which along with Linden Homes and Vistry Partnerships is part of the Vistry Group, will invest more than £1.6m in local infrastructure and wildlife under its planning agreement.
Detailed plans showing the layout, house types and open spaces will soon be submitted to Tewkesbury Borough Council for approval.
Charles Bond, Sales Manager for Vistry Cotswolds, said: “Our development at Coombe Hill will help to meet the need for more high quality homes in this rural area.”
Bovis Homes plans to build two, three and four-bedroom homes on the site.
Charles continued: “Our development at Coombe Hill demonstrates how new homes can benefit the wider community. The homes will be set among new public open spaces, with footpaths and cycle paths through the site.”
