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.

What to do with it
As published

213 Enforcement of controls as respects trees in conservation areas.

(1) If any tree to which section 211 applies— (a) is removed, uprooted or destroyed in contravention of that section; or (b) is removed, uprooted or destroyed or dies at a time when its cutting down or uprooting is authorised only by virtue of the provisions of such regulations under subsection (1) of section 212 as are mentioned in subsection (4) of that section, at a prescribed time, it shall be the duty of the owner of the land to plant another tree of an appropriate size and species at the same place as soon as he reasonably can. (2) The duty imposed by subsection (1) does not apply to an owner if on application by him the local planning authority dispense with it. (3) The duty imposed by subsection (1) on the owner of any land attaches to the person who is from time to time the owner of the land and may be enforced as provided by section 207 and not otherwise.

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.
