The plans have been dubbed 'utter madness'
Up to 775 new homes could be built on what is yet another development planned for the north of Nuneaton .
Gladman have revealed details on its proposals to build on land off Weddington Road, close to Caldecote.
In a leaflet that has been delivered to those who live locally, it states that the development would spread from off Weddington Road, across field land and almost to the disused railway line.
It would be a mixture of houses, including 25 per cent affordable housing, as well a new vehicular and pedestrian access, a convenience store, publicly accessible greenspace in the form of woodland and hedgerows, play areas or footpaths and sustainable drainage.
It states in the leaflet that the firm is in the 'early stages' of preparing a planning application and that the leaflets form part of the process, giving those who live locally the chance to have their say.
"We believe that a development should provide an opportunity to improve the range and quality of services that are available in Weddington," the leaflet says.
"We would be very interested to hear your views on any additional services or improvements that would be of value to your community."
Weddington ward councillor Keith Kondakor said there is already uproar about the plans, saying: "We just cannot cope with any more housing on this side of town, these are the last two fields we have before the border to North Warwickshire.
"It is utter madness, we cannot have any more, not with the roads, school and the air pollution concerns."
There are already new housing developments in the Weddington area, Davidson Homes' Church Fields and Taylor Wimpey's The Farm and Barratt Homes' St James' Gate.

Housing is needed for the indigenous English people, not for those that arrive illegally and jump off a lorry as soon as it arrives in the UK.

A huge housing development is about to get even bigger
House builders want the green light to complete the third phase of a huge development in Nuneaton.
Bellway has applied for planning permission to build 75 homes on the Royal Park development off The Long Shoot.
Hundreds of homes have already been built and now the firm wans to create 56 two and three-bedroom houses for private sale, plus 19 homes designated as affordable housing.
An area of public open space is also proposed towards the entrance of the new phase.
Marie Richards, sales director for Bellway West Midlands, said: “We’re delighted to have submitted plans for the next phase of development in Nuneaton to help meet the continuing need for new homes.
“Given the response we’ve had to the homes we’re currently building at Royal Park, we know there’s a real demand for new housing in Nuneaton and the surrounding area.
“We’ve worked closely with the local authority to draw up plans which will provide the kind of homes that local people are looking for and very much hope they will now be approved."
The planning department at Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council will now decide if the application is given the go-ahead.
There are now five different developments either underway or due to start in the north of Nuneaton.
There are homes currently being built by Davidsons, Barratt and David Wilson Homes as well as Bellway and Warwickshire County Council has also been given the green light to build homes on land off Eastboro Way.
A sixth could be on its way if developers Gladman are given the green light to build 650 dwellings at Poplar Farm at The Long Shoot.
