This is effectively a reduction in the amount a green belt property can be extended using a planning application for all properties under 140M. RDC state here that it is entirely reasonable for those living in the greenbelt to be able to extend their properties. Under RDC's current policy it is possible to extend by 35M. Under this proposed policy all properties under 140m will be allowed to extend to less of a deree than the current policy. Why is it necessary to reduce the amount that properties in the greenbelt can be extended by if they are under 140M? Also this cut for properties in the greenbelt extension threshold should be stated as a cut! How was the figure of 25% worked out?
