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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

61 Development orders: supplementary provisions.

(1) A general development order may make different provision with respect to different descriptions of land. (2) For the purpose of enabling development to be carried out in accordance with planning permission, or otherwise for the purpose of promoting proper development in accordance with the development plan, a development order may direct that any pre 1947 Act enactment, or any regulations, orders or byelaws made at any time under any such enactment— (a) shall not apply to any development specified in the order, or (b) shall apply to it subject to such modifications as may be so specified. (3) In subsection (2) “pre 1947 Act enactment” means— (a) any enactment passed before 6th August 1947 (the date of the passing of the 1947 Act), and (b) any enactment contained in the Highways Act 1980 which— (i) is an enactment derived from the Highways Act 1959, and (ii) re-enacts (with or without modifications) any such enactment as is mentioned in paragraph (a).

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.
