Some 200 letters of objection have been sent to Wyre, although almost 150 supporters have also written in.
The protesters staged their demonstration as councillors made a site visit.
David Taylor, 71, of Osborne Avenue, Cleveleys, says his home is adjacent to the site in question and he is unhappy over the plans.

“This will cause noise and disruption from 6am until 11pm - it will completely transform the environment of out home.”
Mr Taylor said he was one of four opponents who would speak at the planning meeting.
The session is being held at Wyre Civic Centre.
