A number of late objections were sent in before the committee met
Approval has been given in principle for 7.38 hectares of land adjacent to Poyll Dooey to be developed.
The Planning Committee agreed unanimously to the application this morning despite a number of objections from Ramsey residents.
Reasons for objection included concerns around flooding, a lack of ecological and arborist reports and claims the plans go against the Island's biosphere status.
However, the committee said once a full application is received a decision can be made 'accordingly' if its 'acceptable'.
Previously an application was made on the site for 200 houses, open spaces and a pub, which were refused by the committee.
Tony Lloyd-Davies, representing the developer, said the spine road would be prepared for a flood and the site is currently zoned for development.
Interested party status was not given to any of the residents who submitted late objections, but a number of conditions were changed.
