The money will go towards services including £2.15million for schools £1.9million for roads and £1.36million for sports facilities.
The money will also support healthcare, cycleways, bus stop improvements and canal bridge improvements.
yew Tree Park will have 206 homes for private sales and the rest for low-cost rent or shared ownership.
Coun Walsh said: “I was very impressed with the build quality of the show homes I viewed.
“I especially liked seeing the internal bones of the build. I had never seen something like this before and found that aspect particularly interesting.”
Bellway have a ‘House to Home’ which showcases the building process for people to see.
