Ecological consultant in Omagh

Corry Ecology is based at Gortin, just outside Omagh, so Omagh sites are effectively local work — site visits can usually be arranged at short notice and there is no travel loading on the quote.

Planning ecology in the Omagh area

Omagh District covers a wide rural area where most ecology work arises on replacement dwellings, farm diversification, barn conversions and infill sites in the countryside. Sites along the Camowen, Drumragh and Strule corridors, and holdings bordering the Sperrins, come with their own habitat considerations that are worth flagging early.

Applications here are determined by Fermanagh and Omagh 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

Omagh is 7 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 Omagh 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
  • Ecology and planning risk advice on a site before committing to buy it
