A New Jersey appeals court decision in a case involving a proposal to build a huge office tower overlooking the Palisades in Englewood Cliffs may give impetus to protect other scenic vistas along what the judges called a “national treasure.’’

The decision will pave the way for a compromise scaling down the new headquarters to less than 70 feet high. But conservationists said the more far-reaching implication could lead to permanent protection for the entire Palisades.
