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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

36 Appeals: supplementary provisions.

(1) The Secretary of State may prescribe the procedure to be followed on appeals under section 35, and may in particular— (a) require the planning authority to submit, within such time as may be prescribed, a statement indicating the submissions which they propose to put forward on the appeal, (b) specify the matters to be included in such a statement, (c) require the authority or the appellant to give such notice of such an appeal as may be prescribed to such persons as may be prescribed, and (d) require the authority to send to the Secretary of State, within such period from the date of the bringing of the appeal as may be prescribed, a copy of the enforcement notice and a list of the persons served with copies of 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.

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.
