31, Faaie Ny Cabbal, Kirk Michael, Isle Of Man, IM6 2ht
Permission was granted for alterations and extensions to a dwelling at 31 Faaie-Ny-Cabbal, Kirk Michael, Isle of Man. The property is a two-storey semi-detached house situated within a cul-de-sac. The proposed rear extensions were designed with no windows in the gable elevations, and 2-metre high fences run along both boundary lines. There are no properties directly to the rear of the site, which limited the potential for overlooking or loss of privacy to neighbours. The application was decided by delegated authority and permitted on 26 March 2010, consistent with the officer's recommendation to approve.
The application was permitted on 26 March 2010 under delegated authority. The officer recommended approval, and the decision aligns with that recommendation. The extensions were designed without windows in the gable elevations, and a 2-metre boundary fence and the absence of neighbouring properties to the rear limited any impact on neighbours.
