The Town and Country Planning (Crown Development Applications) (Procedure and Written Representations) Order 2025
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
16 Publicity for applications: Secretary of State
(1) This article applies where the Secretary of State considers that the development which is the subject of a Crown development application is of national importance and that the application is complete (within the meaning of article 11(2)). (2) Where the application is a special development application or a standard major development application, the Secretary of State must— (a) before the end of the period of 5 working days beginning with the day the notice required by article 11(4) was sent, publish the required information about it on a website, and (b) as soon as reasonably practicable after the notice required by article 11(4) was sent— (i) make copies of the application and any document accompanying it available on the website, and (ii) arrange for the publication of the requisite notice in relation to the application in a newspaper circulating in the locality in which the land to which the application relates is situated. (3) Where the application is a standard non-major development application, the Secretary of State must— (a) before the end of the period of 5 working days beginning with the day the notice required by article 11(4) was sent, publish the required information about it on a website, and (b) as soon as reasonably practicable after the notice required by article 11(4) was sent make copies of the application and any document accompanying it available on the website. (4) In this article, “the required information”, in relation to an application, means— (a) the address or location of the proposed development, (b) a description of the proposed development, (c) the date by which any representations about the application must be made, which must not be before the last day of the period of 21 days, or in the case of an EIA application accompanied by an environmental statement 30 days, beginning with the day on which the required information is published, (d) details of where and when the application may be inspected, and (e) the Secretary of State's address for receipt of representations about the application. (5) When computing the number of days in paragraph (4)(c), any day which is a public holiday must be disregarded unless the application is an EIA application accompanied by an environmental statement.

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.

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.
