Structural Engineer in Alton

Alton is a historic Hampshire market town on the headwaters of the River Wey. The town centre has Georgian and Victorian properties, some of which are listed, alongside inter-war and post-war residential development in the outer areas. The surrounding villages of the South Downs and the River Wey valley — including Four Marks, Chawton, and Froyle — have rural properties including Victorian farmhouses and converted agricultural buildings.

The chalk geology of the Hampshire Downs and the eastern portion of the South Downs National Park provides firm, well-drained foundation conditions in the higher areas. The Wey valley alluvium has different, lower-bearing conditions. The South Downs National Park designation affects planning for extensions in the designated area.
