Located off South Way between Hatfield and Welham Green, the scheme - named The Landings - will be delivered by David Wilson Homes and will include 12 acres of green space.
Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council has approved the design and layout following outline planning permission granted last year.
Lauren Potter, development director at Barratt David Wilson North Thames, said: "This new, sustainable development off South Way will bring forward a new community of quality homes that complement the local area, while also providing much-needed affordable family housing.
"Green space will be at the heart of the plans, with attractive landscaped areas designed to create an appealing setting for residents as well as support biodiversity.
"With open spaces to the south of the town close by, the development will help residents enjoy a greener, more connected way of life, with the plans set to increase biodiversity on the site by more than 20 per cent."
Of the 120 homes planned, 90 will be for open market sale, including a mix of two, three, and four-bedroom houses.

Two plots will be reserved for custom-build plots.
The remaining 30 homes - 25 per cent of the total - will be designated as affordable housing through a mix of social rent, affordable rent, and shared ownership.
These will include one to four-bedroom apartments and houses aimed at meeting a variety of housing needs, including those of first-time buyers.
All properties will be built to the Future Homes Standard, featuring low-carbon heating and high energy efficiency.
A serviced site for a new school is also included in the plans, alongside a £4 million contribution towards primary and secondary education and other essential local services.
The development forms part of Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council’s wider housing plan to deliver 13,400 new homes across the borough by 2036.
Half of the development will be given over to green space, including a water meadow, community orchard, two play areas, a birch copse, and two ponds.
David Wilson Homes carried out a character study of the surrounding area to ensure the new homes fit in with existing architecture.
The homes will feature red and buff brick, clay and slate-style tiles, and traditional features such as bay windows, chimneys, and partial rendering.
