APPROVALS MATRIX
Authority | question | evidence provided | written response | conditions | unresolved
Planning / EA abstraction / impoundment / flood risk / LLFA or IDB / ecology
Raised-storage reservoir assessment if relevant

OPTIONS: retain existing / smaller habitat basin / separate storage / lined / clay
Option | assumptions | surveys | design | new materials | care | actual quote | exclusions

CONTRACTOR: design responsibility / concealed-work inspections / records / defects
SAFETY: children / guests / access control / maintenance / rescue arrangements
PLANTING: botanical identity / source / spread / maintenance
OPERATION: responsible person / drought / blocked outlet / suspected pollution / algae
No swimming or drinking-water use inferred from clear water or a planted edge.

Monthly balance: closing storage = opening + all assessed inflows - all assessed losses.
Keep units consistent; unknown values are not zero. A basin volume curve is required.
