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.

5 Applications for outline planning permission

(1) Where an application is made for outline planning permission, the Secretary of State may grant permission subject to a condition specifying the reserved matters which are to be subject to subsequent approval.

(3) Subject to paragraph (4), in the case of an application for outline planning permission, details need not be given of any reserved matters. (4) Where access is a reserved matter, the application for outline planning permission must state the area or areas where access points to the development proposed will be situated.

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.
