The firm claims to have progressed proposals in the intervening months. Bosses have also promised to reveal plans to deal with site drainage and access. Residents will be given the opportunity to discuss and comment on the proposals.
"This event will provide the local community with the opportunity to view our latest proposals in slightly more detail," said Steve Russell, Devonshire Homes' land and planning director.
"Several options will be displayed, and we will ask residents what elements they like from each one. The final scheme we submit to (planning authority) East Devon District Council will hopefully reflect much of what we hear."
He added: "As a company, Devonshire Homes is committed to public consultation and we have held events such as these for a number of years. We do it to ensure that our developments reflect, where possible, the views of local people."
Devonshire Homes has promised to analyse feedback before handing a planning application to East Devon District Council by September.
It is hoped that an application will be lodged with the council by September at the latest.
The exhibition will be held on Wednesday, June 2, at Tipton's Community Hall on Wednesday from 2.30pm to 6.30pm.
