Plans for up to 90 new houses to "provide a new edge to Torrisholme" have been passed by councillors.
The Powder House Lane East scheme was given planning permission at a meeting on Monday.
Thirteen councillors on the Lancaster City Council planning regulatory committee voted in favour at Morecambe Town Hall, with one abstention.
The new houses are due to be built on land east of Powder House Lane, next to where up to 130 new homes were given the green light by the council last year.
The outline planning application is "for the erection of up to 90 dwellings, including affordable housing, public open space, landscaping, and sustainable urban drainage system and associated works".
The application is from Warren Cadman of Wrenman Strategic Land, who also applied for the adjoining scheme.
Pete Turnbull (on behalf of the Friends of Barley Cop Woods) and Councillor Jean Parr raised concerns regarding the application. Laurie Lane (Lane Town Planning Ltd) spoke in favour.
Council officers had recommended the scheme be approved, subject to conditions.

Documents submitted with the plans said features of the scheme will include "proposed vehicle access from the committed Powder House Lane West scheme across Powder House Lane leading to a well defined central street corridor", and "opportunities for a new pedestrian access to existing footpaths and new footpaths proposed through the adjacent committed scheme".
It also says there will be "an opportunity for enhancing existing vegetation through new focal green spaces and by connecting the tree belts to boundary vegetation through green links" and "opportunities for enhanced landscaping and biodiversity through new hedgerows and tree planting".
"The site will provide a new edge to Torrisholme," says a design and access statement submitted with the proposal.
"The primary access point will be taken from Slyne Road, as a continuation of the spine road from the committed Powder House Lane West scheme directly to the west."
The site is 5.12 hectares of agricultural land, consisting of one field enclosed by hedgerows and trees along with the West Coast Mainline to the east and Powder House Lane to the west.
A small holding is located to the south of the site, and just beyond this lies the Bay Gateway.
The site is on the north and east of Torrisholme, approximately 950 metres to its local centre.
The Powder House Lane West scheme was passed in September 2025 by the committee, by nine votes to six.
These new houses are due to be built on former Green Belt land off Powder House Lane in Lancaster - in fields also bounded by Russell Drive in Torrisholme, Slyne Road and the Bay Gateway.
More than 270 objections had been received to this scheme from members of the public.
