Propose a change

Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997

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.

10A Declining to determine an application

(1) A planning authority may decline to determine an application (in this subsection referred to as the “current application”) for listed building consent— (a) if— (i) in the period of two years ending with the date on which the current application is received, the Scottish Ministers have refused a similar application referred to them under section 11 or have dismissed an appeal against the refusal of, or an appeal under section 18(2) in respect of, a similar application, and (ii) in the opinion of the authority there has not, since the Scottish Ministers refused the similar application or dismissed the appeal, been any significant change in any material considerations, (b) if— (i) in that period of two years the planning authority have refused more than one similar application, (ii) there has been no appeal to the Scottish Ministers against either (or as the case may be any) of those refusals, and (iii) in the opinion of the authority there has not, since the more (or as the case may be most) recent of the refusals, been any significant change in any material considerations, (c) if— (i) in that period of two years the planning authority have refused more than one similar application, (ii) there has been an appeal to the Scottish Ministers against either (or as the case may be any) of those refusals but as at the time the current application is received no such appeal has yet been determined, and (iii) in the opinion of the authority there has not, since the more (or as the case may be most) recent of the refusals, been any significant change in any material considerations, (d) if— (i) in that period of two years there have been appeals under section 18(2) in respect of more than one similar application but as at the time the current application is received no such appeal has yet been determined, and (ii) in the opinion of the authority there has not, since the more (or as the case may be most) recent of the appeals was made, been any significant change in any material considerations, or (e) if— (i) in that period of two years two similar applications have been made to the planning authority, (ii) the planning authority have refused one of those applications and there has been an appeal under section 18(2) in respect of the other but as at the time the current application is received the appeal under that section has yet to be determined as has the appeal (if any) against the refusal, and (iii) in the opinion of the authority there has not, since the refusal or since the appeal was made (whichever was the more recent), been any significant change in any material considerations. (2) For the purposes of this section an application for listed building consent is to be taken to be similar to another such application only if the listed building and the works to which the applications relate are in the opinion of the planning authority the same or substantially the same.

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.
