Proposals have been submitted to build 44 new homes in fields near the village of Caton.
Highbrook Homes have applied to build on a 3.55 hectare field west of Quernmore Road, west of Caton, and close to Escowbeck Farm.
The planned new housing has been named the 'Escowbeck Park residential development'.
Lancaster City Council will make a decision on whether to grant planning permission, in due course.
The application is for the "erection of 44 dwellings with associated development including landscaping, open space, car parking and access from Quernmore Road/Land West Of Quernmore Road Caton".
A statement on behalf of the applicant says: "The application site is a sustainable and accessible location within convenient walking and cycling distance, along footways on Copy Lane, Brookhouse Road, The Croft and Broadacre, of the range of community facilities and amenities in Caton which meet residents’ daily needs.
"These include a Coop food store, shops, pharmacy, petrol station, café, public house, village hall, churches, sports and social club, children’s play area, recreation ground and Caton Primary School.
"In addition, there are bus stops on Lancaster Road (A683) which provide regular public transport to Lancaster city centre, and Caton is also served by secondary school bus services and connected to Lancaster by the River Lune Millennium cycle path.
"The dwellings are a mix of one, two, three and four bedroom houses, bungalows and apartments, of which six (14 per cent) are affordable housing for shared ownership tenure.
"Accident data shows that there are no inherent safety issues on Quernmore Road and the local network around the site, and the proposed development of 44 dwellings will generate a low level of net additional traffic which will not have a material impact on the operation of the local road network, or on road and pedestrian safety, and no further analysis is required.
"The proposed development is a high-quality design which is visually attractive and in keeping with the character and appearance of the surrounding area, and provides a pleasant living environment and safe and inclusive community for residents.
"It does not have an adverse impact on the landscape and scenic beauty of the Forest of Bowland National Landscape and the purposes for which it has been designated; provides appropriate on-site public open space and green infrastructure, and does not have an adverse effect on residential amenity."
