Geological Survey Ireland supports the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications (DECC) in its role as a Statutory Consultee. We respond to calls for information and observations on a range of environmental assessments carried out under planning regulations.
The Geoscience for Planning web pages are a resource for delivering our support in this respect.
We also respond in writing where required or appropriate to requests for observations on Environmental Assessment Impact reports (EIAR) and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) reports at planning and pre-planning stage. We also provide observations and geoscience data for County Development Plans, Heritage Plans, Local Area Development Plans, Visitor Experience Development Plans and many others during planning and consultation phases.
All our published data is freely available to the Public.
