The application relates to the former Burton Grange Nursery site, on Abbey Lane, and consists of one pair of two-storey semi-detached houses and two detached bungalows.
Historic England objected to the proposals when submitted in a five-home form as the fifth was deemed too close to the 12th century Grade I-listed Cluniac ruins, but have lodged no concerns with the reduced version.
The plan is set to be approved next week.
