A public meeting to air concern over plans for 300 new homes on green belt land in Odd Down takes place next week.
Residents living in the area surrounding the South Stoke plateau, including those in Sulis Meadows, South Stoke and Combe Hay, have organised the event to oppose the inclusion of the land in Bath and North East Somerset Council's core strategy.
The first stage of public consultation into the draft blueprint has closed, but a public inquiry presided over by planning inspector Simon Emerson will resume next month.
Campaign co-organiser Gareth Herincx said the plateau needed protecting as it was in an area of outstanding natural beauty and the setting for the Wansdyke Scheduled Ancient Monument.
He said: "We are united in a common cause to preserve this valuable landscape for future generations.
"We do not think B&NES has explored and exploited every brownfield option in the city. We believe there would be no reason to breach Bath's precious green belt if the density of housing was increased on brownfield land.
"We are not Nimbys. We accept there's a need for more housing in Bath. However, grabbing green belt is a relatively easy, but irreversible, option we will regret for generations to come."
The public meeting is taking place at St Gregory's Catholic College, in Combe Hay Lane, on Friday, June 14 at 7.30pm.
There will be an update on the consultation process, as well as the chance to meet and question local councillors.
