Ecological consultant in Dungannon

Planning ecology in the Dungannon area

South Tyrone carries a mix of agricultural, commercial and residential development, with a good deal of poultry and agri-business work alongside single dwellings. Ammonia and designated site considerations feature more often here than in some other districts, and are worth screening for at an early stage.

Applications here are determined by Mid Ulster District Council. Where the council's validation checklist calls for an NI Biodiversity Checklist, or a case officer asks for a supporting ecological statement, Corry Ecology can complete it in the format the council expects.

Travel and site visits

Dungannon is about 28 miles from base at Gortin, Co. Tyrone, which keeps travel costs down and makes it straightforward to get back out to a site if the council raises a follow-up query.

What people in the Dungannon area usually need

• An NI Biodiversity Checklist to validate a planning application
• A supporting ecological statement answering a case officer or NIEA query
• A bat roost assessment on an older building before a conversion or demolition
