An application for 450 homes near Barnstaple has been submitted to North Devon Council.
Developer Wessex Strategic Ltd has made plans to build the new properties in Bynsworthy, off the A39.
It comes after a previous application was rejected by planners earlier in 2025 because it was outside the defined development boundary and said to be unsustainable.
At the time, the council had enough sites in its local plan to meet its housing requirements for the next five years, a situation which has now changed because of new housing targets set by the government.
