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.

33 Effect of inclusion of building in a list under s.32

(1) Subject to the provisions of this section, so long as a building, not being— (a) a building to which a building preservation order applies, or (b) a building of a description specified in subsection (2) of section thirty of this Act, is included in a list compiled or approved under the last preceding section, no person shall execute, or cause or permit to be executed, any works for the demolition of the building, or for its alteration or extension in any manner which would seriously affect its character, unless at least two months before the works are executed notice in writing of the proposed works has been given to the local planning authority. (2) Nothing in the preceding subsection shall render unlawful the execution of any works which are urgently necessary in the interests of safety or health, or for the preservation of the building or of neighbouring property, so long as notice in writing thereof has been given to the local planning authority as soon as may be after the necessity for the works arises. (3) Where a local planning authority receive notice of any proposed works under this section, they shall as soon as may be send a copy of the notice to the Minister, and, except where the authority is the council of a county borough, to the council of the county district in which the building to which the notice relates is situated, and in either case to such other persons or bodies of persons as may be specified by directions of the Minister either generally or with respect to the building in question.

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.
