Propose a change

The Nature Restoration Levy Regulations 2026

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

What to do with it
As published

16 Failure to assume liability

(1) Natural England must impose levy liability on the owners of the land where— (a) the relevant development is authorised by planning permission, (b) Condition A or B applies, and (c) no person has assumed levy liability, unless it considers that to do so would result in substantial injustice (and see regulation 35 which provides for a surcharge to be imposed). (2) Condition A is that— (a) when Natural England accepted the request to pay, the relevant development had not begun, and (b) the relevant development has now begun. (3) Condition B is that— (a) the relevant development began before Natural England accepted the request to pay, and (b) the period of 28 days has ended beginning with whichever is later of— (i) the day on which the request to pay was accepted, or (ii) if the relevant development required a consent, permission or other authorisation which was not in place when Natural England accepted the request to pay and to which a disapplication of an environmental obligation applies, the day on which the first such consent, permission or other authorisation was given.

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.
