An outline planning application that would see 120 new homes built on the patch of land near Greenways Farm Shop was originally submitted to the council in October last year by Coventry-based developers Montague Land.
However, that application was withdrawn in January after several objections from neighbours and concerns raised by highways, ecology, archaeology, and environmental health.
The outline planning application was resubmitted in August, reducing the number of homes to "up to 100" but local resistance remained passionate and over 300 residents objected to the plans.
The application also came under fire from St Georges and Priorslee Parish Council, who called them "inappropriate" and "hugely unpopular" with residents.
