Alton, Architecture + Planning

Architect and planning consultant in Alton.

Design clarity and planning confidence, from one practice, based right on Alton's doorstep. Our studio is in Medstead, a few minutes outside the town, and we bring a chartered architect and a chartered planner together under one roof for projects across Alton and the surrounding East Hampshire villages.

RIBA Chartered RTPI Chartered Alton & East Hampshire

One practice

Architecture and planning, working as one.

Most projects around Alton need both good design and a considered planning strategy, and getting the two to work together is where value is won or lost. With a RIBA Chartered Architect and an RTPI Chartered Planner in one practice, we run the design and the consent as one process, from first sketch to decision, rather than handing you between separate consultants.

Local knowledge

Understanding Alton and East Hampshire.

Alton sits within East Hampshire District Council, a market town with a historic centre and a ring of conservation areas, surrounded by villages across a rural, policy-sensitive countryside close to the South Downs. A good number of the projects we see from the Alton area involve extending or converting a listed building, or building within its curtilage, work with a distinct legal process of its own (see our guide to Works to Listed Buildings). Whatever the setting, we design and plan with that context in mind from the outset.

What we do

New homes, extensions and listed building projects.

We work across the full range: new and replacement dwellings, extensions and renovations, listed building and curtilage projects, Paragraph 84 country houses (the exception now set out at Policy HO11 of the NPPF), and small residential schemes. Whatever the project, the offer is the same: design and planning developed together, with a realistic view of what your site can support given early.

The work

Our work in and around Alton.

From new dwellings on the edge of the South Downs to an outbuilding conversion in Wivelrod, a hamlet that borders our own Medstead studio, our work in this part of East Hampshire covers the full range of what a village or countryside site can call for.
