This application sought approval in principle to demolish an existing garage at Hillside, Ballaragh Road, Laxey, and to create a car parking space and site a new split-level dwelling within part of the garden. The site forms the curtilage of the existing property known as Hillside, on the eastern side of Ballaragh Road in the parish of Lonan. The officer's report identified the proposal as backland development, noting that the proposed new house would be positioned much further back than either of its neighbours. The application was refused by committee on 11 March 2005, in line with the officer's recommendation to refuse.

The application was refused by committee on 11 March 2005. The officer also recommended refusal. The main planning concern was that the proposal represented backland development, with the new house positioned much further back than neighbouring properties.
