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
17 Publicity for applications: relevant local planning authority
(1) This article applies where the relevant local planning authority receives a notice under article 13 (information to be provided to the relevant local planning authority by the Secretary of State). (2) Where the notice relates to a special development application, the relevant local planning authority must, before the end of the period of 5 working days beginning with the day the notice was sent— (a) give the requisite notice by site display in at least one place on or near the land to which the application relates for not less than 21 days, or in the case of an EIA application accompanied by an environmental statement 30 days, and (b) send a copy of the requisite notice to the Secretary of State. (3) Where the notice relates to a standard major development application or a standard non-major development application, the relevant local planning authority must, before the end of the period of 5 working days beginning with the day the notice was sent— (a) give the requisite notice— (i) by site display in at least one place on or near the land to which the application relates for not less than 21 days, or (ii) by sending to each adjoining owner or occupier, and (b) send a copy of the requisite notice to the Secretary of State. (4) Where a relevant local planning authority is required to give the requisite notice in relation to an application under this article by site display, but without any fault or intention on the part of the authority the notice is removed, obscured or defaced before the 21 or 30 day period, as appropriate, and as specified in paragraphs (2)(a) or (3)(a)(i) has elapsed, the authority is treated as having complied with the requirements of paragraphs (2)(a) or (3)(a)(i) if they have taken reasonable steps to— (a) protect the notice, and (b) if necessary, provide for its replacement. (5) In this article “adjoining owner or occupier” means any owner or occupier of any land adjoining the land to which the application relates. (6) When computing the number of days for the purposes of paragraphs (2)(a) and (3)(a)(i), 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.
