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.

(b) Natural England’s response to the consultation and details of any further consultation.
(3) The Secretary of State may make the EDP only if the Secretary of State considers that the EDP passes the overall improvement test.
(4) An EDP passes the overall improvement test if, by the EDP end date, the effect of the conservation measures will materially outweigh the negative effect of the EDP development on the conservation status of each identified environmental feature.
(5) In subsection (4), “the negative effect of the EDP development” means the effect, caused by the environmental impact, as identified in the EDP in accordance with section 61(1)(b), of the maximum amount of development to which the EDP may apply, as specified in accordance with section 60(5).
(6) The Secretary of State may request further information from Natural England in order to decide whether to make an EDP.

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.
