Permission was granted for a single storey extension to the side of a semi-detached house at 50 Faaie Ny Cabbyl, Kirk Michael. The property sits on the Heritage Homes estate off Main Road. The officer report identified that the extension's proximity to the neighbouring property was a concern, but concluded that the extension itself was modest and acceptable. Two parking spaces would remain on the driveway, and the loss of one space was also considered acceptable. The Planning Committee approved the application on 7 September 2004, subject to three conditions.

The Planning Committee approved the application. The officer report noted the extension itself was modest and acceptable in scale, and while proximity to the neighbouring property was raised as a concern, the proposal was ultimately found to be satisfactory. The loss of one parking space was also considered acceptable given two spaces would remain on the driveway.
