Ms Finch said she wanted to see the council put a "temporary stop order on that site" before a potential retrospective application is submitted.Ms Finch also said she hoped the site would be "restored to agricultural use and woodland".The Reverend Helen Burnett said what happens at Horse Hill will have a wider impact
