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.
Change 1
26 Compensation for loss or damage caused by service of building preservation notice.
(1) This section applies where a building preservation notice ceases to have effect without the building having been included in a list compiled or approved by Historic Environment Scotland under section 1. (2) Any person who at the time when the notice was served had an interest in the building shall, on making a claim to the planning authority within the prescribed time and in the prescribed manner, be entitled to be paid compensation by the authority in respect of any loss or damage directly attributable to the effect of the notice. (3) The loss or damage in respect of which compensation is payable under subsection (2) shall include a sum payable in respect of any breach of contract caused by the necessity of discontinuing or countermanding any works to the building on account of the building preservation notice being in force with respect to it.

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.
