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.

35C Duties to notify authorities responsible for local plans

(1) An authority responsible for a structure plan shall, where any proposals of theirs for the alteration or replacement of a structure plan are adopted or approved— (a) notify any authority responsible for a local plan in their area that the proposals have been adopted or approved; and (b) supply that authority with a statement that the local plan is or, as the case may be, is not in general conformity with the altered or new structure plan. (2) A statement that a local plan is not in general conformity with a structure plan shall specify the respects in which it is not in such conformity. (3) An authority responsible for a structure plan shall, where any proposals of theirs for the alteration or replacement of a structure plan are withdrawn, notify any authority responsible for a local plan in their area that the proposals have been withdrawn. (4) Nothing in this section requires an authority to notify or supply a statement to themselves. (5) For the purposes of this section an authority shall be regarded as responsible— (a) for a structure plan, if they are entitled to prepare proposals for its alteration or replacement; and (b) for a local plan, if they are under a duty to prepare a local plan or are entitled to prepare proposals for its alteration or replacement.

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.
