This application sought permission to erect a conservatory on the side elevation of the dwelling at Ballacorlett, Barregarrow, Kirk Michael. The Planning Committee refused the application on 17 August 2004. The committee found that the design of the proposed conservatory would adversely affect the character and appearance of Ballacorlett farmhouse. The farmhouse sits in an elevated and prominent position in relation to the A4 highway, making any harmful addition particularly visible. As a result, the committee concluded that the scenic value of the area would be harmed, and permission was refused on that basis.

The Planning Committee refused this application. The conservatory's design was judged to harm the character and appearance of Ballacorlett farmhouse, which sits in an elevated and prominent position visible from the A4 highway, with wider damage to the scenic value of the area.
