Propose a change

Town and Country Planning Act 1962

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.

What to do with it
As published

117 Calculation of value

(1) In calculating value for any of the purposes of this Part of this Act— (a) rules (2) to (4) of the rules set out in section five of the Land Compensation Act, 1961, shall apply with the necessary modifications; and (b) if the interest to be valued is subject to a mortgage, it shall be treated as if it were not subject to the mortgage: Provided that rule (3) of those rules shall not apply for the purposes of the Sixth Schedule to this Act. (2) Where, for the purposes of any of the provisions of this Part of this Act, value falls to be calculated by reference to the duration of a tenancy, and, by reason of any option or other contractual right with respect to the determination, renewal or continuance of the tenancy, the date of expiry of the tenancy is not ascertainable with certainty, that date shall be token to be such as appears reasonable and probable having regard to the interests of the party by whom the option is exercisable, or in whose favour the right operates, and to any other material considerations subsisting at the time when the calculation of value falls to be made.

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.
