The development, located on Dunmow Road, will deliver 155 sustainable homes alongside the millions in funding for infrastructure and services.
Housebuilder Bellway will begin work on the site in early 2026.
As part of the planning agreement for the development, Bellway will provide funding for a range of services including education, health and outdoor sport.
Jenny Walker, sales director at Bellway Essex, said: "This development will bring enormous benefits in terms of investment in local services, and this will be good for the whole area, not just for those who come to live in the new homes at our development.
"It will be a sustainable place to live with energy-efficient heating methods, electric vehicle charging points, and a level of planting and care for the environment that will significantly increase the biodiversity of the site."
The scheme includes 77 private homes, 16 custom-build plots, and 62 affordable homes for rent or shared ownership.
Property sizes will range from one-bedroom apartments to five-bedroom houses.
All properties on the 35-acre site will feature air source heat pumps and will have EV charging points installed as standard.
Bellway will also contribute £740,797 for primary education, £679,965 for secondary education, and £222,239 for early years and childcare services as part of the planning agreement.
Additional funding includes £596,750 for sustainable transport, £38,750 for outdoor sport and community facilities and £23,250 for Hatfield Forest.
There will also be contributions of £79,830 for health services, and £12,059 for libraries.
A range of measures have been planned to improve biodiversity on the site.

These will include the creation of grassland, specimen tree and native scrub planting, sowing of wildflower seeds, and managing of native hedgerows.
These plans are set to deliver a net biodiversity gain exceeding the 10 per cent requirement under current development regulations.
Outline planning permission was granted for the development in 2022, and the detailed application was approved by Uttlesford Council on Wednesday, October 22.
