Redrow Homes wants to build nearly 1,000 new homes, a primary school and country park near York.
The development is proposed on green belt land west of Monks Cross Link Road in Huntington, near York
Following a public inquiry in January, the planning inspector recommended that appeal be allowed and planning permission granted. While the land is within York's green belt, it has been allocated for housing in the city's draft Local Plan, which is a blueprint for future development and which is currently being examined by government inspectors.Councillors had previously called the proposals "premature", saying the developers should wait until the city's Local Plan was ratified.
It added: "The Secretary of State agrees that delivery of 30% affordable housing would be a further social and economic benefit to which significant weight should be attached."
