Smaller units- 1&2 beds should be designed so that they can not be extended . The existing housing stock in the rural areas in the past 30 years has been flooded with larger 4 bed+ executive housing, and smaller 2 and 3 bedroom housing units have been extended, reducing the pool of smaller 1&2bedroom homes on the housing market. The proposed proportionof 4 bed+ market housing in the rural area is therefore too high- 25-35%. This figure should be reduced.
