Residents are being asked to have their say on potential plans to build up to 275 homes on land off Lever Causeway, between Prenton Golf Club and Mount Road.
Housing developer Taylor Wimpey has outlined its proposal, which includes green spaces, a children's play area and new planting, with 35% of the homes designated as affordable, totalling 96 if approved.
The consultation runs until 22 November.
Taylor Wimpey says the site counts as grey belt land, and that the scheme would form a natural extension to the existing Prenton community, with homes for first-time buyers, families and older residents.
It says the site is within walking distance of bus stops on Mount Road, Thornton Road and Broadway.
The developer says the homes would help Wirral meet its revised housing target of 1,630 new homes a year under the Government's standard method, despite the Local Plan being adopted in March 2025.
Becky May, for Taylor Wimpey, said: "Our proposals for land off Lever Causeway would deliver a sustainable, well-considered new neighbourhood of high-quality homes, helping to meet a severe local housing need and demand."
