PerenOS is designed for every practitioner whose decisions shape land at scale
Landscape architects
What you receive
- Community proposals with ecological reasoning explicit and traceable, ready for biodiversity net gain submissions and equivalent regulatory requirements across jurisdictions.
- Climate-analogue species selection for design horizons beyond the reach of historical data.
- Adaptive guidance that follows the project through establishment and long-term maintenance.
- Field observation logging integrated into the site record from every visit.
Relevant pressures
England's statutory 10% BNG requirement (February 2024) is the first legally mandated net gain framework to enter planning law. Equivalent obligations are now developing across Australia, South Africa, France, and multiple US states. The reasoning behind a planting proposal is increasingly part of the submission record, not only the spatial outcome.
Clients and regulators increasingly expect designed landscapes to perform ecologically over the life of the project, not only at the point of completion or handover.
Historical species lists are increasingly unsuitable for the conditions projected for 2040 to 2060, and practitioners are expected to document the basis for species selection against future conditions.
Ecological consultants
What you receive
- Trait-based species selection grounded in global functional ecology datasets.
- Explicit modelling of competitive dynamics and succession trajectories.
- Regulatory framework integration across the jurisdictions you work in.
- Longitudinal observation data that sharpens recommendations with each project.
Relevant pressures
Demand for ecological input at the design stage consistently exceeds the hours available at project scale, across every market where biodiversity obligations are entering planning law.
The EU Nature Restoration Law, biodiversity net gain frameworks, and CSRD all require ongoing ecological monitoring, not single-point assessments. The evidence burden is moving from design stage to lifetime performance.
Every project currently starts from scratch because no mechanism preserves ecological knowledge across the design, establishment, and long-term management phases.
Property developers
What you receive
- Pre-application ecological modelling with reasoning explicit and traceable.
- Documentation ready for planning submissions and regulatory review, across jurisdictions.
- An adaptive maintenance plan that reduces non-compliance risk over the lifetime of the development.
- Support for CSRD, ESRS E4, and TNFD reporting.
Relevant pressures
Every major development in England must demonstrate 10% biodiversity net gain at planning consent (February 2024). Australia's Environment Protection Reform Act 2025 introduces an equivalent net gain test. South Africa's National Biodiversity Offset Guideline requires biodiversity offsetting under environmental authorisation. Multiple US states are developing analogous frameworks.
Green finance instruments increasingly require ecological performance evidence, not only design intent. TNFD-aligned disclosure of nature-related financial risk is becoming standard for institutional lenders.
Poorly specified landscaping creates ecological compliance risk that persists for years beyond completion, particularly where regulatory monitoring obligations run with the land.
Planners and municipalities
What you receive
- Site-specific ecological reasoning that can be defended to planning committees, oversight bodies, and the public.
- Integration with ZAN, the EU Nature Restoration Law, urban biodiversity obligations, and equivalent frameworks across jurisdictions.
- Long-term adaptive management guidance that follows the landscape through its lifetime.
- Green infrastructure and urban heat island framing suited to institutional reporting and climate adaptation plans.
Relevant pressures
France's zero net soil sealing law requires municipalities to integrate biodiversity restoration targets into SCoT and PLU planning documents, with obligations opposable from 2031.
Member states and their planning bodies are required to halt the decline of urban green space and integrate nature-based solutions into urban infrastructure, with binding targets from 2030.
Cities across multiple EU and global markets are now legally required to integrate nature-based cooling solutions into adaptation planning. The ecological quality of green infrastructure determines whether those solutions perform.
Infrastructure operators
What you receive
- Community-level habitat design for linear, fragmented, and corridor sites, with reasoning adapted to each zone's conditions.
- Ongoing monitoring integrated into asset management and reporting workflows.
- TNFD and CSRD biodiversity disclosure support, with traceable documentation.
- Climate-analogue species selection suited to infrastructure with 30-to-50-year design horizons.
Relevant pressures
Nature-related financial disclosure is now expected by institutional investors for infrastructure asset holders. The ability to produce traceable ecological reasoning and longitudinal performance data directly supports TNFD-aligned reporting.
Infrastructure verges and rights-of-way are increasingly identified as critical habitat corridors under national biodiversity strategies and the EU Nature Restoration Law. The ecological quality of those corridors is now a managed obligation, not a residual.
Infrastructure designed to historical climate conditions faces performance degradation under projected 2040 to 2060 scenarios. Species selections that fail under future conditions create maintenance liability and ecological compliance risk across the asset's operating life.
