Permission was granted for the installation of replacement roof tiles to the dwelling and garage at Bridge House, West Baldwin, Isle of Man. The application was submitted by Mr Patrick McNamara and decided by delegated authority on 12 September 2014. The officer's report noted that trees growing close to the property had overgrown, reducing light to parts of the roof and causing persistent damp. This had led to the wooden shingle roof tiles rotting, making replacement necessary. The main planning consideration was whether the replacement tiles would affect the character and appearance of the dwelling and the street scene. The application was approved subject to two conditions.

The Department of Infrastructure approved the application on 12 September 2014, subject to two conditions. The key planning consideration was the impact on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the wider street scene, which was found to be acceptable.
