Description

The same plan URL should not appear more than once in the data for the same council, although the same plan URL can appear for a different council e.g. Adur and Worthing councils share a climate action plan.

The existence of the same plan URL more than once for the same council has happened a few times in the spreadsheet (presumably different people adding a row and not looking at the existing rows), so seems worth adding a constraint for, so this will be picked up when we update the data in the database from the spreadsheet.

Research direction

Start by tracing the spreadsheet-to-database update path described in the issue. Add enforcement so a plan URL may occur once per council but may be reused by different councils; done means duplicate rows for one council are rejected while the Adur and Worthing example remains valid.
