For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.You may be able to place an objection to the planning application if it has not yet been approved, although there is no guarantee that you would be able to prevent building on the land.
In the first instance, you should contact the planning department of your local authority to find out if the official application has been made yet.
If the council has already approved the application then there is nothing you can do short of lying down in front of the bulldozers and generally making a publicity stunt out of it, and there's still no guarantee that this would stop it.
If, however, the field contains rare species of plant(s) or wildlife you may be able to stop development, or at least minimise the disruption. You would need to get the land to be declared a SSSI (Site of special scientific interest).
