The £6.5 million development was approved by Gateshead Council's Planning and Development Committee.
The four-bedroom semi-detached homes will be built on a 8003 m² site at the edge of farmland with stunning countryside views across the Tyne Valley.
Designed by BDN Ltd, Kapex Construction will start building the homes in early 2021, with completion expected in summer 2022.

Kapex Construction, part of Newcastle-based Morton Group, plans to build three more phases on the site, providing up to 50 attractive new homes in the popular suburb of Gateshead.
Chris Nunn, Business Development Director at Kapex Construction, said: "We're delighted to achieve planning permission for this lovely development on the A692 behind The Cottage in Streetgate.
"These beautifully designed modern homes with large windows are set in a stunning landscape in a very desirable village close to Sunniside and Whickham.
"It's a great development in a fantastic location and we can’t wait to start work on building these homes as phase one of our overall four-phase development."
