Building near AWE Aldermaston.
Dear Office for Nuclear Regulation,
I hear that planning permission for houses to be built, has been granted, or is about to be granted, on the site of a former school in New Church Road, Tadley, Hampshire.
Having been told that I would not be granted planning permission for more than 1 residence on my land, as it is too close to AWE Aldermaston site, I would like to know how planning permission for, I believe, 14 houses, has been granted on a site which is a lot closer to AWE boundary than my property is.
In my mind this raises some unpleasant theories as to how the permission was obtained.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. J F Norrish (John)
