How the register holds it
- One item owed to the Environment Agency, with a service manager as its owner and a due date set from the rule above.
- The owner commits to a date the first time they open it, and the evidence (registration certificate) is attached before it can be marked done.
- A manager confirms it, a reminder goes by email before it falls due, and the item's history cannot be edited or deleted.
