The Dogger Bank South East and West Offshore Wind Farms Order 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
38 Felling or lopping of trees and removal of hedgerows
(1) Subject to paragraph 2 and article 39 (trees subject to tree preservation orders) the undertaker may fell or lop, or cut back the roots of, any tree or shrub within or overhanging land within the Order limits or near any part of the authorised project if the undertaker reasonably believes it to be necessary to do so to prevent the tree or shrub from obstructing or interfering with the construction, maintenance or operation of the authorised project or any apparatus used in connection with the authorised project. (2) In carrying out any activity authorised by paragraph (1), the undertaker must not do any unnecessary damage to any tree or shrub and must pay compensation to any person for any loss or damage arising from such activity. (3) Any dispute as to a person’s entitlement to compensation under paragraph (2), or as to the amount of compensation, must be determined under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act. (4) The undertaker may, for the purposes of the authorised project— (a) subject to paragraph (2) above, remove any hedgerows as are within the Order Limits and specified in Part 1 of Schedule 17 (Removal of hedgerows) that may be required to be removed for the purposes of carrying out the authorised project; and (b) remove the important hedgerows as are within the Order Limits and specified in Part 2 of Schedule 17 (Removal of important hedgerows) that may be required to be removed for the purposes of carrying out the authorised project. (5) In this article “hedgerow” and “important hedgerow” have the same meaning as in the Hedgerows Regulations 1997.

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.
