Plans for 23 new homes in the village of Hornby have been recommended for approval.
Lancaster City Council planning officers said the proposals for land north of Royal Oak Meadow should be granted permission, subject to conditions.
Developers want to build on around 1.08 hectares of former greenfield land on the northern edge of the village, close to the A683 Melling Road.
The site is within the Forest of Bowland National Landscape (formerly known as Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).
The application by Hornby Developments Limited is also for "associated vehicular and pedestrian access, internal roads, infrastructure, open space, drainage and landscaping".
Outline planning permission was granted for 23 homes on the site in 2016.
A council report, published this week, said: "This current application proposes the same site layout as that already approved.
"The only difference is the reduction in the provision of affordable housing units from nine to six.
"Work has commenced on site pursuant to the extant planning permission.
"When the application was initially submitted, it included neither affordable housing nor a financial contribution towards public open space, citing viability constraints. However, during the course of its determination, the proposal was revised to include six affordable units and a financial contribution towards off-site public open space enhancements."
The report says that nine letters of objection have been received by the council, on issues including "impact from traffic on Royal Oak Meadow and Hornby Bank; access into Hornby Bank; and insufficient parking provision".
The report says that "the council’s current housing land supply stands at two years...the council acknowledges that this represents a significant shortfall in housing supply, whilst the importance of boosting housing delivery across the District is also noted".
"The proposal would deliver both affordable and market housing that would to a degree help address the significant shortfall in the five year housing land supply position.
"There would also be a range of social and economic benefits, including construction jobs and increased spending for local services and facilities."
The report recommends approval subject to conditions and completion of a legal agreement with the developer.
Lancaster City Council's planning regulatory commitee, a group of elected councillors, will have the final say on whether to grant planning permission.
They will meet to discuss the plans on Monday, September 29, at Morecambe Town Hall. The meeting starts at 10.30am and is open to the public.
The planning application can be found in the planning section of the Lancaster City Council website lancaster.gov.uk, reference number 23/01399/FUL.
