Propose a change

Town and Country Planning Act 1990

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.

(1) Regulations made by virtue of this section with the consent of the Treasury may provide that where an order is made under— (a) section 97 modifying planning permission for development consisting of the winning and working of minerals or involving the depositing of mineral waste; or (b) paragraph 1, 3, 5 or 6 of Schedule 9 with respect to such winning and working or depositing, sections 107, 115, 117, 279 and 280 shall have effect subject, in such cases as may be prescribed, to such modifications as may be prescribed. (2) Any such regulations may make provision— (a) as to circumstances in which compensation is not to be payable; (b) for the modification of the basis on which any amount to be paid by way of compensation is to be assessed; (c) for the assessment of any such amount on a basis different from that on which it would otherwise have been assessed, and may also make different provision for different cases .... (3) No such regulations shall be made by the Secretary of State unless a draft of the instrument is laid before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament. (4) Before making any such regulations the Secretary of State or (as the case may be) the Welsh Ministers shall consult such persons as appear to him or them to be representative— (a) of persons carrying out mining operations; (b) of owners of interests in land containing minerals; and (c) of mineral planning authorities.

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.

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.

Think it through

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.
