UK criticism follows a statement by France, which has also been angered by the plans for more settlement units in areas which were taken over by Israel in 1967.
Britain's Minister for the Middle East and North Africa, Alistair Burt, has described Israel's approval of the new construction projects in the Palestinian neighborhood of Silwan as "counter-productive to peace efforts."
He said the step by Israeli authorities could only lead to a lack of trust from the Palestinian Authority.
Mr Burt referred to the Israeli announcement as "provocative and deeply counter-productive in the resumption of direct negotiations."
The first stage of the approval process for three controversial construction projects was passed on Wednesday.
Israel is said to be planning 130 Jewish housing units on the border between Gilo and Beit Safafa.
