The Biodiversity Gain Requirements (Exemptions) Regulations 2024
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
7B Temporary development
(1) The biodiversity gain planning condition does not apply in relation to planning permission for development which meets the first, second and third conditions. (2) The first condition is that the development does not impact an onsite priority habitat. (3) The second condition is that the whole of the development for which the planning permission is granted consists solely of temporary development. (4) The third condition is that the specified period does not exceed five years. (5) The exemption in paragraph (1) does not apply in relation to planning permission where the application for planning permission was made before 6th August 2026. (6) The exemption in paragraph (1) does not apply in relation to a section 73 planning permission where— (a) the application for the original planning permission to which the section 73 planning permission relates was made before 6th August 2026; or (b) the original planning permission to which the section 73 planning permission relates was granted before 6th August 2026. (7) The exemption in paragraph (1) does not apply in relation to planning permission for temporary development where the effect of that planning permission, when taken together with any earlier grant or grants of planning permission for the same temporary development, is that the total of the specified periods exceeds five years. (8) For the purposes of this regulation— (a) “original planning permission to which the section 73 planning permission relates” has the same meaning as in regulation 3; (b) “priority habitat” has the same meaning as in regulation 4; (c) “section 73 planning permission” has the same meaning as in regulation 3; (d) “specified period” means the period specified in the condition imposed on the grant of planning permission at the end of which— (i) any buildings or works authorised by the permission are required to be removed; (ii) any use of the land authorised by the permission is required to be discontinued; and (iii) any works to reinstate the land are required to be completed. (e) “temporary development” means development for which planning permission is granted subject to a condition imposed under section 72(1)(b) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990; (f) a habitat is impacted where the habitat is lost or degraded such that there is a decrease in the biodiversity value of that habitat.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
