1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 FROM STAGE 1 TO STAGE 2 1.2 PURPOSE 1.3 HOW TO READ THE REPORT
The neighbourhood of Fortune Green and West Hampstead is a successful area with a widely appreciated village character, a variety of amenities and excellent transport links. However, recent development has raised a number of concerns in the local community, with the height of new buildings and their appearance being key issues. As higher policy plans exist for further development in the ‘West Hampstead Growth Area’, the population is expected to increase significantly while adding to the existing infrastructure, employment and housing pressures of the neighbourhood. To retain and protect the positive features of Fortune Green and West Hampstead, this Plan takes on these future challenges and aims to facilitate sustainable growth in the Area.
