Now plans for the site have been officially submitted to Wokingham Borough Council, which Lower Earley falls under. Campaigners are still fuming over the ‘destruction’ caused by the ‘deforestation’ in November, and have resolved to fight the plan. Councillor Clive Jones, a Liberal Democrat representative in Lower Earley, said: “I will look at it very carefully and we will find reasons in planning law why it should not be built. You can’t just say, 'I don’t want it because I don’t want it.' “There will be a handful of people who will say we want another supermarket, and there are a handful who will say, ‘yep, we need more houses’ but the housing that’s being proposed… I don’t think it’s the type of housing we need in Earley. We need one and two bedroom homes and bungalows for older people to downsize into. We will be opposing this to the best of our ability.”
