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
7 Defence to proceedings in respect of statutory nuisance
(1) Where proceedings are brought under section 82(1) (summary proceedings by persons aggrieved by statutory nuisances) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to a nuisance falling within section 79(1) of that Act (statutory nuisances and inspections therefor) no order may be made, and no fine may be imposed, under section 82(2) of that Act if the defendant shows that the nuisance— (a) relates to premises used by the undertaker for the purposes of or in connection with the construction or maintenance of the authorised project and that the nuisance is attributable to the carrying out of the authorised project in accordance with a notice served under section 60 (control of noise on construction sites), or a consent given under section 61 (prior consent for work on construction sites), of the Control of Pollution Act 1974; (b) is a consequence of the construction maintenance or decommissioning of the authorised project and cannot reasonably be avoided; (c) relates to premises used by the undertaker for the purposes of or in connection with the use of the authorised project and that the nuisance is attributable to the use of the authorised project in compliance with requirement 21 (control of noise during operational phase); or (d) is a consequence of the use of the authorised project and that it cannot reasonably be avoided. (2) For the purposes of paragraph (1) above, compliance with the controls and measures relating to noise, vibration, dust or artificial light approved pursuant to the requirements in Schedule 2 of this Order will be sufficient, but not necessary, to show that an alleged nuisance could not reasonably be avoided. (3) Section 61(9) of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 does not apply where the consent relates to the use of premises by the undertaker for the purposes of or in connection with the construction, maintenance or decommissioning of the authorised project.

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.
