Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Little Shelford Conservation Area
- the effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The reduction of the gap between properties, whilst reducing openness, would not harm the character or appearance of the conservation area because the gap is substantially obscured by existing structures and does not constitute a significant occasional framed view towards open countryside as identified in the Village Design Guide.
