hmmm I haven’t heard of many rural basements being built because of small sites or planning limitations – yet.
In rural areas typical projects, that I know about, are new builds of large one off family homes, on sizeable sites, where the owner wants big recreation rooms. From what I can see the desire for home cinemas, gyms and pools tend to be drivers for rural basement projects rather than site limitations.

I feel that it should be pointed out that retrofitting a house with a basement as a means of reducing radon is an outragously expensive solution to the problem.
Agreed! The primary benefit of a basement is gaining additional space in areas where land costs are very high. Alleviating a radon gas problem is a useful side effect.
