The Gatwick Airport (Northern Runway Project) Development Consent Order 2025

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

14 Temporary stopping up of streets

(1) The undertaker, during and for the purposes of carrying out the authorised development, may temporarily stop up, alter, divert or restrict the use of any street and may for any reasonable time— (a) divert the traffic from the street; and (b) subject to paragraph (3), prevent all persons from passing along the street. (2) Without limitation on the scope of paragraph (1), the undertaker may use any street temporarily stopped up, altered, diverted or restricted under the powers conferred by this article and which is within the Order limits as a temporary working site. (3) The undertaker must provide reasonable access for pedestrians going to or from premises abutting a street affected by the temporary stopping up, alteration, diversion or restriction of a street under this article if there would otherwise be no such access. (4) The undertaker must not temporarily stop up, alter, divert or restrict the use of any street— (a) without the consent of the street authority, which may attach reasonable conditions to any consent but such consent must not be unreasonably withheld; and (b) unless a temporary diversion to be substituted for it is open for use and has been completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the street authority. (5) Where the undertaker provides a temporary diversion under this article, the new or temporary alternative route is not required to be of a higher standard than the temporarily stopped up street, but it must be suitable for use by the same type of traffic as uses that street unless otherwise agreed with the street authority. (6) Prior to the reopening of any street temporarily stopped up under this article, the undertaker must remove all temporary works and restore the street to its previous condition. (7) Any person who suffers loss by the suspension of any private right of way under this article is entitled to compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, as if it were a dispute under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act. (8) Article 53 (deemed consent) applies to an application to the street authority for consent under paragraph (4). (9) Paragraphs (4) and (6) of this article do not apply to any streets within the airport.

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.
