Are you sure you don't want to use desktop to develop (ie install
ubuntu-sdk there) and just deploy ready apps to the phone?

But yes, it's possible to develop directly on the device too. However,
I suggest not installing 'ubuntu-sdk' in that case, since it among
else installs the Qt Creator (which you won't use on the phone), a lot
of documentation and so on. Instead, there's 'ubuntu-sdk-libs-dev'
that installs development libraries on the device but still less than
the ubuntu-sdk itself.

If you try to get space back, I'd go with the following commands in
adb shell to clean up the downloaded packages cache and remove the
mentioned Qt Creator and documentation packages at least:

apt-get clean
apt-get autoremove --purge qtcreator qt.*-doc
