The development, by Kingdom Park Ltd, would create a new community with almost 1,100 houses, a primary school, a hotel, a neighbourhood centre, a petrol station, a care home, parks and two supermarkets.
The site they are eyeing for this development is Kingslaw, previously home to an opencast mine.
If the plans are approved, two new access roads and a new roundabout will be needed, while two other roundabouts would have to be upgraded.

The work would take place in five phases over the next 15 years.
A 50-page report on the ambitious proposal will go before a special meeting of Kirkcaldy area committee tomorrow, where councillors will be urged to approve it, subject to the conclusion of a legal agreement.
This would require Kingdom Park to contribute cash to build a new secondary school in the east of Kirkcaldy and make sure 15% of the homes built are affordable.
The company would also have to ensure the primary school applied for would not only serve the number of houses approved, but could accommodate more children if the site is extended in the future.
Although the Kirkcaldy committee has the power to approve the application, because it is seen as major it may be referred to the strategic planning committee for a decision.
Seven letters of objection have been received.
If approved, the project would be complete by 2027.
