The National Grid (Bramford to Twinstead Reinforcement) Order 2024

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

48 Trees subject to Tree Preservation Orders

(1) The undertaker may fell, lop, prune, cut, trim, coppice, pollard, or reduce in height or width, any tree described in Schedule 13 (trees subject to tree preservation orders) and identified on the trees and hedgerows to be removed or managed plans, or cut back its roots, if it reasonably believes it to be necessary in order to do so to prevent the tree— (a) from obstructing or interfering with the construction, maintenance or operation of the authorised development or any apparatus used in connection with the authorised development; or (b) from constituting a danger to persons constructing, maintaining, or operating the authorised development. (2) The undertaker may fell, lop, prune, cut, trim, coppice, pollard, or reduce in height or width, any tree within or overhanging land within the Order limits subject to a tree preservation order which was made after 31 January 2023, or cut back its roots, if it reasonably believes it to be necessary to do so in order to prevent the tree— (a) from obstructing or interfering with the construction, maintenance or operation of the authorised development or any apparatus used in connection with the authorised development; or (b) from constituting a danger to persons constructing, maintaining, or operating the authorised development. (3) In carrying out any activity authorised by paragraph (1) or (2)— (a) the undertaker must do no unnecessary damage to any tree and must pay compensation to any person for any damage arising from such activity; and (b) the duty in section 206(1) of the 1990 Act (replacement of trees) does not apply. (4) The authority given by paragraphs (1) and (2) constitutes a deemed consent under the relevant tree preservation order. (5) Any dispute as to a person’s entitlement to compensation under paragraph (3), or as to the amount of compensation, must be determined under Part 1 of the 1961 Act.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
