Big Potential, Gentle Character
Tucked between West Hampstead, Hampstead and Cricklewood, Fortune Green feels like the calm in the middle of the storm. Wide streets, a leafy central park, solid brick villas and Edwardian terraces — it’s a pocket of North West London that balances architectural charm with practical everyday living.
But Fortune Green also sits squarely in the Camden planning belt, with Conservation Areas, amenity policies, and flat conversion rules that can make even a small extension feel like a strategic project.
That’s where we come in. At DOR Architects, we help homeowners and developers in Fortune Green maximise the value and quality of their properties — with design that is clever, confident and quietly beautiful.
“The client in Fortune Green said: ‘It’s not a grand house — but it deserves to be treated like one.’ We agreed. Good design isn’t about postcode. It’s about care.”
Where We Work in Fortune Green
We regularly deliver projects throughout NW6, including:
-
Fortune Green Road & Burrard Road: Rear extensions, side returns, and loft conversions
-
Minster Road, Mill Lane & Ulysses Road: Full internal reconfigurations and basement refurbishments
-
Ajax Road & the Crediton Hill Conservation Area: Heritage-sensitive designs and planning applications
-
Backland & mews plots: Planning support for discreet new-builds and developer-led schemes
We understand how to bring quality to even modest footprints — and how to design within the constraints of one of Camden’s more underrated architectural neighbourhoods.
Planning in Fortune Green: What to Expect
Fortune Green sits within Camden Council’s planning authority, with many streets covered by Article 4 Directions or Conservation Area designations.
Key planning considerations include:
-
Conservation Area guidelines, especially in Crediton Hill
-
Flat conversion and subdivision controls, including minimum space standards and amenity provisions
-
Permitted development restrictions for roof alterations or garden structures
-
Basement impact assessments, where relevant
-
Privacy, daylighting and amenity tests for both extensions and infill plots
We handle Camden planning strategy all the time. We know when to be bold, and when to let the quality of the design speak for itself.

FAQs – Fortune Green Planning & Architecture

It’s possible — but you’ll likely need a Basement Impact Assessment and structural proposals upfront. We can advise and coordinate.
