Birmingham City Council has granted outline consent for the £1bn regeneration of the Druids Heath estate.
The plan will deliver 3,500 homes, with 1,785 (51%) being affordable, including 400 for social rent in the first phase.
A new local high street, later-living homes, sports and community facilities, green spaces, and upgraded transport links will also be introduced.
The balance will be delivered through a partnership between the council, Lovell and Homes England, blending mixed-tenure housing with social infrastructure.
