City and Country Stansted is proposing the development of 520 new homes and 20,000 square metres of commercial floor space between Birchanger and Stansted.
The land is farmland and goes across the two north Essex towns.
According to the initial planning documents, the Birchanger site could start construction in late 2028 and be completed in late 2032.
Work on the Stansted Mountfitchet site could begin in late 2027 and be finished by late 2033.
The developer has submitted an environmental impact survey to Uttlesford Council, which is one of the first stages of a planning application.
According to the documents, nearby schools are not at capacity but healthcare facilities are running above the recommended maximum capacity.
The development is split over two sites, one between the two towns and second to the east of this site and south east of Stansted.
The documents state: "A construction traffic management plan will be implemented which will define the hours during which lorries and other construction movements can be made, routing, parking and access arrangements.
"This will ensure that construction impacts are minimised, particularly during peak periods on the network and during other sensitive times.
"At this stage, the level of potential effects towards ecological features are not yet fully understood but it is considered likely that the proposed development will be able to affectively mitigate and compensate adverse effects.
"In addition, due to the current land use being mainly intensive farming, it gives opportunities to create enhanced habitats that will in turn benefit protected and notable species.

"Generally, it is likely that all species will be accommodated as part of the proposed development, with potential for positives effects for some groups through the creation of ecological valuable habitats.
"Both sites will also create demand for play space and amenity open space to meet the needs of its resident population.
"The new population will benefit from the presence of existing open space and proposed amenity open space being delivered across both sites."
