The proposals are for land off St John’s Road in Chew Moor, where a mixture of one, two, three and four-bedroom homes is planned.
The scheme had previously been described as “imminent”, but a planning application has now been submitted and residents are being given the opportunity to comment.
The Bolton News previously reported that the site lies south of View Road, opposite Tempest Road.
A meeting will be held at The Shed, Tempest United Football Club’s clubhouse on Tempest Road, at 7pm on Tuesday, October 6.
The developer has been invited to attend, while Cllr Anne Galloway, who represents Heaton, Lostock and Chew Moor, also plans to be there.
Cllr Galloway said: “It should be immediately apparent that this green belt site on the road through Chew Moor village is completely unsuitable to locate a 90 homes estate.
“It is a narrow village road which is already gridlocked at peak times as it’s used as a route between Westhoughton and Bolton.”
The latest proposals follow other housing applications on green belt land in the surrounding area.
Outline plans for up to nine homes on land off St John’s Road were previously submitted to Bolton Council.
The site had been used as an open storage yard, with the developer arguing the housing could be delivered without causing substantial harm to the openness of the green belt.
Meanwhile, Persimmon has submitted separate plans for up to 100 homes off Chew Moor Lane, including 50 per cent affordable housing.
Those plans have attracted objections over traffic, infrastructure and the loss of green belt land, although Persimmon has argued its site represents a sustainable location with access to amenities, schools and public transport.
Cllr Galloway said the prospect of further development increased her concerns about the cumulative impact on the area.
She said: “The proposal is coming months after a similar application for 100 houses a few minutes walk down the road.
“It is called a sustainable location as it has bus stops. The bus is twice an hour. The village itself has no shops, only a pub and a mosque.
“Obviously residents depend on using their cars. Adding hundreds more houses to this location is a mistake.”
The councillor also criticised changes to planning policy surrounding the green belt.
She said: “This proposal is a direct result of the weakening by the Labour government of the protections surrounding the green belt.
“We had been told these newly designated ‘grey belt’ sites would be unattractive scrubland or disused car parks. But they’re not. They’re green fields on the edge of settlements used by wildlife and animals.”
The separate 100-home Chew Moor Lane application also seeks to treat its green belt site as “grey belt”, with its developer arguing that it meets the relevant criteria for development.
Residents can make representations on planning applications through Bolton Council’s planning portal while an application is within its consultation period.
The developer says the scheme would also provide new public open space, landscaping and drainage features, alongside measures aimed at improving environmental sustainability.
It argues the development would bring wider benefits to the area through affordable housing, job creation and increased demand for local services
