Chichester District Council's planning committee are looking over a major Bosham development, submitted by Barratt Homes/David Wilson Homes.
If the developers get the green-light, the housing mix would be split into 271 homes and 30 flats, on the land east of Broadbridge and north of Highgrove Farm between the A259 and railway line.
A total of 30 per cent affordable housing is proposed and the development would include a community/village hall in the north-west corner next to the allotment gardens.
The majority of the residential homes would be two storeys with some 2.5 storey homes.
The main vehicular access would be from the A259, with two pedestrian accesses one from the south and another from the west.
The A259 access would be via a T-junction with a right turn ghost island.
