Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and area including the wider Fortune Green and West Hampstead Neighbourhood Area
whether the proposal is an environmentally sustainable form of development

What decided it

The appeal site's limited public visibility and the screening effect of the balcony balustrade detailing meant that the visual difference between the proposed uPVC windows and existing timber windows would not cause material harm to character and appearance.

Plan policies cited: Policy 2 of the Fortune Green and West Hampstead Neighbourhood Plan (2015), Policy D1 of the Camden Local Plan 2017, Policy CC1 of the Camden Local Plan 2017

What an account adds

Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
