Pegasus Group completed the planning application for 1,600 new homes and almost 20 acres of commercial land as part of the Northampton North Sustainable Urban Extension (SUE).
As well as homes and commercial space, the proposal outlines plans for a 2-form entry primary school, over 55s living/residential care home, community hub and associated infrastructure.
These plans have been put forward on behalf of Davidsons Developments Ltd and L&Q Estates.
Alan Siviter, from Pegasus Group's East Midlands office, said: "The masterplan has been designed to create a sustainable development that generates its own distinct identity, combining appropriate facilities and open spaces with a mix of housing types and sizes for a future community to thrive.

"The development proposals will provide cohesive linkages to the first phase of the urban extension currently under construction at Overstone Leys and allowing for further dualling of the A43 to form an important gateway into Northampton.
"The masterplan seeks to maintain and build upon the existing landscape structure, pursuing enhancements to the Local Wildlife Site at Cowpasture Spinney, the re-use of the existing farm buildings on site for a community hub and the retention of existing trees and hedgerows.
"Using the existing features as inspiration, the masterplan creates an extensive network of linear green links, creating diverse public open spaces that encourage walking and cycling to the planned community facilities whilst enhancing the public engagement with present site features."
Daventry District Council is expected to reach a decision on the scheme by the summer.
