6 years ago Jeff: every project will have an authorisation, not neccesarily an environmental authorisation. But it will be the most common. i.e. over 90%
[10:18] so yes, it will be the main one, and will almost always be there in cases that require multiple authorisations.
[10:19] but you can't code the EIA ref as being mandatory, with the rest optional, if that's what you're thinking.
[10:19] we have had offsets based solely on a WULA, and you could conceivably get an offset purely based on a forest clearing permit
These two permit types actually not necessary. It sort of sounds as if the main permit/authorisation type is EIA, which each development should have, and there might possibly be another one with that. Maybe that needs to be incorporated into db design, so instead of a seperate permits table have some EIA permit fields in the dev table, and then allow them to add additional permits on as json? Maybe.
