Bath-headquartered planning, architecture and placemaking consultancy Nash Partnership has recruited associate planner Alexandra Egge in a move it said reflected its growing portfolio of projects.

Alexandra, pictured, joins from Arup in London, where she led projects ranging from strategic mixed-use development strategies and masterplans to net zero evidence studies for multiple London boroughs. 

She has also provided technical expertise to create legacy-led urban design strategies for communities impacted by HS2.

Before joining Arup, Alexandra was a senior town planner at engineering consultancy Mott MacDonald in Cardiff, where she co-ordinated a range of disciplines linked to the strategic regeneration masterplans for Bristol Temple Meads and Cardiff Central railways station. 

Her other projects have included planning and masterplan coordination for the development framework at Bristol’s Temple Quarter, one of the UK’s largest regeneration areas.

A chartered town planner, Alexandra brings a multidisciplinary approach to placemaking to Nash Partnership along with a proven track record of delivering complex masterplans, town centre and placemaking plans, regeneration frameworks and heritage consents. 

She will help lead the firm’s planning consultancy while working closely with the leaders of its other services, including architecture, placemaking and heritage.

The planning team at Nash Partnership, which also has offices in Bristol and London, works on projects across the South West and beyond, providing advice to private and public sector clients, ranging from land and property owners, commercial organisations and local authorities to individual homeowners.

The team is involved in all stages of planning applications and can claim a 96% approval rate based on applications submitted and determined in the past 12 months.

The team also handles negotiations with local planning authorities, preparation of representations to local plans, site appraisals and appeals and has significant experience in heritage, rural and sensitive projects.

Nash Partnership partner Daniel Lugsden said: “With expertise spanning many of our specialisms and regions alike, we’re thrilled to welcome Alex to the team. 

“From masterplanning and regeneration to heritage and strategic policy development, Alex brings a significant set of skills that will bolster our successful teams. 

“With her keen interest in urban design as well as planning, we think Alex has the ideal blend of skills to be successful here at Nash. Her passion for and experience in sustainable buildings is also a great fit for us as a practice.

Alex added: “I’m looking forward to starting work on an exciting portfolio of current planning projects while also taking Nash’s multidisciplinary offer forward to new clients. 

“Nash’s commitment to sustainability and socially-focused design set them apart and align with my approach to creating successful and resilient outcomes.

Founded in Bath 35 years ago, Nash Partnership has a team-focused, creative culture geared to working on small and large projects – from individual homes to large-scale urban regeneration projects.

It opened its Bristol office in 2011 and added a London office in July this year as it continues to win prestigious commissions in the capital and across the South East.
