Narrative:
Ground control cleared flight ab on local IFR flight plan; flight ab requested own navigation to VOR for full procedure at 2;000 feet. The MVA throughout most of ZZZ airspace is 2;400 feet and normal practice is to clear all IFR aircraft above the MVA. Ground control did not coordinate the abnormal altitude with local control. I did not catch the altitude and due to traffic flight ab could not get own navigation on departure. I issued a departure heading to flight ab to avoid traffic that put flight ab into a MVA of 2;400 feet.ground control should only issue IFR aircraft altitudes at or above MVA.
