Hey, Pondnut, welcome to the forum! Jeff is right about the limited carrying capacity of ponds and the restrictions on one your size. He's also right on about doing certain things that can increase the capacity, but I am not sure how much of an increase you can reasonably expect to obtain. Definitely need some expert opinions on that point. I wouldn't personally worry too much about your depth as you'll probably have all you need with the plan. If you can make the pond bigger, that's always a positive, but the depth is less important, I believe.

Hang on for some more thoughts.
