The adopted Havering Local Plan (targets, CIL, plan period) is a separate source still being loaded. What the record already shows: which applications win here, and the grounds refusals cite. Havering's decision-notice parsing is limited coverage — condition-load and refusal-citation figures aren't shown until confidence improves.
