Policy should be to extend dwellings up to maximum floor area achievable with permitted development rights. This policy is counterproductive as it will encourage owners to use their pd rights to build flat roofed extensions. This will result in buildings with vastly increased floorspace and of unsightly appearance. Dwellings with smaller footprints and steeper pitched roofs are far more traditional, far more attractive visually and less detrimental to the Green Belt.
