Supporting Biodiversity in Irish Developments

Future-proofing your site while protecting nature.

In Ireland, environmental protection and biodiversity enhancement are playing an increasingly important role in planning decisions, corporate responsibility, and long-term asset value. Forward-thinking developers and facilities managers are now expected to go beyond basic compliance, creating spaces where nature can thrive alongside people and infrastructure.

At Ground Control Ireland, we help clients across commercial property, construction, and public sector projects deliver measurable biodiversity improvements aligned with national policy, EU Biodiversity Strategy, and local authority green infrastructure plans.

Practical Biodiversity Solutions for Irish Sites

Whether you're at the pre-planning stage or managing an existing property portfolio, we offer a range of ecological and land management services tailored to Irish conditions, including:

• Biodiversity baseline surveys
  Assessing your site’s existing ecological value to inform planning applications and long-term habitat strategies.
• Habitat creation and enhancement
  Delivery of grassland, woodland, wetland, hedgerows, and pollinator-friendly planting to enhance site ecology and meet planning expectations.
• Habitat Management & Monitoring Plans (HMMPs)
  Ongoing maintenance strategies and monitoring programmes to demonstrate ecological stewardship and planning compliance.
• Offsetting & Biodiversity Compensation
  Where biodiversity improvements can't be delivered fully onsite, we can advise on local or regional compensation schemes or habitat creation projects.
