Propose a change

Planning (Hazardous Substances) (Scotland) Act 1997

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.

8 Power to impose conditions on grant of hazardous substances consent.

(1) Without prejudice to the generality of section 7(1), a planning authority may grant hazardous substances consent conditional on the commencement or partial or complete execution of development on the land which is authorised by a specified planning permission or development consent or may grant such consent subject to conditions with respect to any of the following— (a) how and where any hazardous substance to which the consent relates is to be kept or used, (b) times between which any such substance may be present, and (c) the permanent removal of any such substance— (i) on or before a date specified in the consent, or (ii) before the end of a period specified in it and commencing on the date on which it is granted. (2) A planning authority may only grant consent subject to conditions as to how a hazardous substance is to be kept or used if the conditions are conditions to which the safety regulator has advised the authority that any consent they might grant should be subject. (3) It shall be the duty of a planning authority, when granting hazardous substances consent, to include in that consent, in respect of each hazardous substance to which it relates, a statement of all conditions relating to that substance subject to which the consent is granted.

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.
