25% is less than the previous policy. RDC may want the proposed development to result in a better design and less impact on the openess of the greenbelt, this proposed policy however will have the exact opposite effect as it encorages people to use permitted development rather that making a formal planning application. Also the 25% figure makes it less attractive to use roofspace in bungalows than the old policy for properties 140m and under. This will encorage extensions as opposed to using roofspace, and that means a bigger footprint on the ground. More than 25% is required.
