Wombwell High School, which closed in 2012 when it merged with Foulstone to form Netherwood, is at the centre of a bid from Premier Construction Group.
The application consists of 34 two-bedroom, 126 three-bedroom and 75 four-bedroom properties.
Two hectares of the site will be retained for a new primary school and £2m will be secured from the developer for loss of amenity if it’s given the green light, a report revealed.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
