Detailed plans have been submitted for hundreds of new homes on land in Nailsea.
Outline planning permission was granted at appeal for up to 450 homes on a 24 hectare site at Youngwood Lane last year.
North Somerset Council failed to reach a decision on the application for Youngwood Lane in time, so applicant Mactaggart and Mickel launched an appeal.
An inspector found in their favour and permission was granted in November.
The site has now been sold to housing giant Taylor Wimpey which has put forward detailed plans for the first phase of the scheme to build 168 homes.
The scheme also includes plans for new roads around development and drainage ponds and landscaping.
A mix of homes are planned for the development with some going on the open market and some being available for rent.
There would be a mix of homes ranging from one-bedroom flats to four-bedroom houses, including up to 50 affordable homes.
There is a further 282 properties to come in phases two and three with new highways routes and ponds on the farmland off Youngwood Lane/Netherton Lane.
The detailed application is due to be discussed by Nailsea Town Council planning committee later this month.
But the matter will then have to go before North Somerset Council's planning and regulatory committee.
