The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) (Principal Use of Premises) Regulations 2026
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
2 Principal use of premises
(1) When premises are used for two or more uses specified in Schedule 1 to the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025 (“Schedule 1 use”), the Schedule 1 use which relates most closely to the purpose and nature of the premises is to be treated as the principal use of the premises for the purposes of section 4 of that Act (persons responsible for qualifying premises or events). (2) The factors taken into account by any person determining the purpose and nature of the premises must include— (a) whether the premises were built or have been modified to be used for a particular Schedule 1 use; (b) whether the premises continue to be used for that use; (c) the physical characteristics of the premises; (d) whether the premises are treated by a local authority for the area in which the premises are situated as having, for any purpose, a particular Schedule 1 use. (3) Where it is not possible to identify a principal Schedule 1 use under paragraphs (1) and (2), the principal use of the premises is to be determined in each case after consideration of all the relevant circumstances, including— (a) the factors specified in paragraph (2); (b) whether the whole of the premises, or only a part of the premises, is occupied for each use; (c) the proportion of the premises occupied for each Schedule 1 use; (d) the amount of time for which the premises are occupied for each Schedule 1 use, in any period which is considered to be relevant in the circumstances of the premises concerned; (e) whether any Schedule 1 use is carried on to support another Schedule 1 use. (4) In this regulation, “local authority” means— (a) in England and Wales, a local authority as defined by section 270 of the Local Government Act 1972, a combined authority, a combined county authority, the Greater London Authority, the Common Council of the City of London, the Council of the Isles of Scilly, a National Park authority or the Broads Authority; (b) in Scotland, a local authority as defined by section 235 of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, or a National Park authority; (c) in Northern Ireland, a district council within the meaning of the Local Government Act (Northern Ireland) 1972. (5) In paragraph (4), “National Park authority” means— (a) in relation to England and Wales, an authority established under section 63 of the Environment Act 1995; (b) in relation to Scotland, an authority on which functions have been conferred by the National Parks (Scotland) Act 2000 in relation to an area designated as a National Park in an order made under section 7 of that Act.

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.
