Building Act 1984

91ZB The regulator: building control authority for other work

(1) This section applies in relation to work of a prescribed description (“the work”) that is to be carried out in England and has a prescribed connection with any higher-risk building work. (2) Where— (a) the regulator and the person intending to carry out the work, acting jointly, give a notice under this section (a “regulator’s notice”) to the local authority for the area in which the work is to be carried out, and (b) the regulator’s notice is accepted (or treated as accepted) by the local authority, the regulator is the building control authority in relation to the work. (3) A regulator’s notice may not be given if any of the following has been given to the local authority in relation to the work (or any part of it)— (a) an application for building control approval; (b) an initial notice (within the meaning of section 47); (c) a public body’s notice (within the meaning of section 54).

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.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
