Richard Lloyd, who has died aged 81, was a longtime supporter and campaigner for the protection of the countryside.
The only child of Frank Lloyd, a commercial artist, and Elsie (nee Roberts), he was born and went to school in Gloucester – at the Crypt grammar – and he never quite lost his Gloucestershire accent. At University College London, he obtained a degree, then a master’s, in botany, and another master’s in town and country planning.
