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) A person on whom notice has been served under section 225C(2) may appeal to a magistrates' court on any of the following grounds— (a) that there is no problem with the display of unauthorised advertisements on the surface concerned or any such problem is not a persistent one; (b) that there has been some informality, defect or error in, or in connection with, the notice; (c) that the time within which the measures specified in the notice are to be carried out is not reasonably sufficient for the purpose; (d) that the notice should have been served on another person. (2) The occupier or owner of premises which include a surface to which a notice has been fixed under section 225C(3) may appeal to a magistrates' court on any of the following grounds— (a) that there is no problem with the display of unauthorised advertisements on the surface concerned or any such problem is not a persistent one; (b) that there has been some informality, defect or error in, or in connection with, the notice; (c) that the time within which the measures specified in the notice are to be carried out is not reasonably sufficient for the purpose. (3) So far as an appeal under this section is based on the ground mentioned in subsection (1)(b) or (2)(b), the court must dismiss the appeal if it is satisfied that the informality, defect or error was not a material one. (4) If an appeal under subsection (1) is based on the ground mentioned in subsection (1)(d), the appellant must serve a copy of the notice of appeal on each person who the appellant considers is a person on whom the notice under section 225C(2) should have been served. (5) If— (a) notice under section 225C(2) is served on a person, and (b) the local planning authority bring proceedings against the person for the recovery under section 225C(10)(b) of any expenses, it is not open to the person to raise in the proceedings any question which the person could have raised in an appeal under subsection (1).

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.
