“There is no consensus as to whether a space should be included between
the number and percent sign in English. Style guides – such as the The
Chicago Manual of Style – commonly prescribe to write the number and
percent sign without any space in between.[3] The International System
of Units and the ISO 31-0 standard, on the other hand, require a
space.[4][5]” – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentage

To me, using the space looks consistent with the way a space is added in
front of all the other units.
