As a planning authority, I need to record whether each application document is approved for public availability so that sensitive material is not made public by mistake and the publication decision remains part of the application record.

Justification
Justification just-0067
The `public-register-status` field lets a planning authority record whether an application document has been assessed as suitable for public availability, should be withheld, or has not yet been assessed. This partly meets the need because it records the publication decision needed to prevent sensitive or private material being made public by mistake. It does not yet record the reason for the decision, who made it, when it was made, or the relationship between a withheld original document and any redacted version that can be published.
