Propose a change

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.

As published

37 Publicity for applications: relevant local planning authority

(1) Before the end of the period of 5 working days beginning with the day the notice under article 34 was received, the relevant local planning authority must— (a) give requisite notice of the connected listed building application by site display in at least one place on or near the building to which the application relates for not less than 21 days, and (b) send a copy of the notice to the Secretary of State. (2) Where the requisite notice is, without any fault or intention of the relevant local planning authority, removed, obscured or defaced before the period of 21 days has elapsed, the authority is treated as having complied with the requirements of paragraph (1)(a) if they have taken reasonable steps for protection of the notice, and if necessary, its replacement. (3) In this article, “requisite notice” means a notice in the form set out in Schedule 5 or in a form substantially to the same effect. (4) When computing the number of days in paragraphs (1) and (2), any day which is a public holiday must be disregarded.

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.
