Laurie Appleyard
Senior Consultant

I joined the Planning team at LDA Design in 2022 having graduated from Cardiff University with a master’s degree in International Planning and Development. Prior to joining LDA Design, I worked as a transport planner at a consultancy for four years.
So far I have been undertaking site appraisals to assist clients with decisions around planning applications as well as planning policy reviews.
In my spare time, I enjoy being outdoors with friends and family and I love travelling and getting to experience new cultures and cuisines.
Q&A
One of my favourites locally is Wapping Wharf in Bristol, as it reflects the culture and history of the city and is a great space for small businesses and for people to come together and socialise.
Anywhere along the South West Coast Path or the Cleveland Way in the North York Moors National Park.
A human mobile hanging from a crane at a village festival in France. The people were dressed as clowns and drumming to make it even more exciting.
