Planning and Energy Act 2008
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 local planning authority in England may in their local plan and any supplementary plan and a minerals and waste planning authority may in their minerals and waste plan and any supplementary plan, ... include policies imposing reasonable requirements for— (a) a proportion of energy used in development in their area to be energy from renewable sources in the locality of the development; (b) a proportion of energy used in development in their area to be low carbon energy from sources in the locality of the development; (c) development in their area to comply with energy efficiency standards that exceed the energy requirements of building regulations. (1ZA) In relation to the minerals and waste plan or supplementary plan of a minerals and waste planning authority, references in subsection (1) to development in their area are to minerals and waste development in the relevant area. (2) In subsection (1)(c)— “energy efficiency standards” means standards for the purpose of furthering energy efficiency that are— set out or referred to in regulations made by the Secretary of State under or by virtue of any other enactment (including an enactment passed after the day on which this Act is passed), or set out or endorsed in national policies or guidance issued by the Secretary of State; “energy requirements”, in relation to building regulations, means requirements of building regulations in respect of energy performance or conservation of fuel and power.

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.
