Lucy Aspden
Associate

I joined LDA Design’s Bristol studio as an associate town planner in 2021. Before LDA, I worked across London and the South East, and gained experience advising on planning strategies, promoting land for development and preparing and managing planning applications. I have worked on a range of successful urban regeneration schemes, outline and reserved matters permissions and applications for major residential, mixed use and commercial/industrial development.
I enjoy using planning to help shape environments and create better places for both people and nature and believe good planning is a result of a collaborative and creative approach to thinking about place.
In my spare time I like to go walking, outdoor swimming and camping, and I’m looking forward to having more opportunity to do so having now moved back towards the coast and countryside.

Having lived in a flat in London during lockdown you appreciate any green space and a walk along the river in Wandsworth Park and down to Putney for a beer by the river always lifted spirits.
The top of the hill above Whitesands Bay in Pembrokeshire, you can see for miles and its beautiful.
