A petition started by Facebook group Keep Elms Field Green has reached more than 1,300 signatures in a week.
The petition is asking for people who live, work or are educated in Wokingham and who do not wish to see building development on Elms Field to sign.
The Facebook page states: “That number is significant. If most Wokingham Borough Council councillors had that number of votes lost in an election they would almost certainly not be re-elected.
“We hope the planning committee will consider how unpopular a decision to pass the plans would be.”
Petition organisers are aiming for 1,500 signatures by Friday January 29.

Tomorrow is the final chance to comment on the Elms Field planning application. Responses can be made to Wokingham Borough Council via its planning portal. Search for application 153125.
