All preserved monthly figures · 2026-09 · 2026-08 · 2026-07 · 2026-06 · 2026-05 · 2026-04 · 2026-03 · 2026-02 · 2026-01 · 2025-12 · 2025-11 · 2025-10 · 2025-09
Commencement notices record starts or intent to start, not completions. Preserved totals include source-stated phase units, whole-scheme figures and older or estimated values. Each available month opens the contribution bridge. A closed calendar month does not establish complete national source coverage.
