Alexandra Kemp, an independent councillor, said she was asking her authority to amend its local plan.
She said: “I want to protect the east side of Hardings Way as a village green. To take out the 50 houses earmarked for Harding’s Pits east from the borough’s local plan, and provide community sports facilities, more trees and places for wildlife instead.
“Any development along Hardings Way risks more general traffic which would be devastating to the peace, quiet, safety, and amenity and wildlife.”
The local council has been given a target to build more than 10,000 new homes by 2040 by the government.
