Propose a change

Town and Country Planning (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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

210 Recovery of costs of making orders.

(1) Where a person requests a local authority to make an order to which this subsection applies, the local authority may require him, as a condition of their compliance with the request, to make such provision as they consider reasonable as regards any costs to be incurred by them in so complying. (2) The orders to which subsection (1) applies are orders under any of the following enactments— (a) section 203 (orders extinguishing the right to use vehicles on a road); (b) section 207 (orders authorising the stopping up or diversion of certain roads); (c) section 208 (orders authorising the stopping up or diversion of footpaths or bridleways); (d) section 34 of the Countryside (Scotland) Act 1967 (orders as regards the closure of public paths); and (e) section 35 of that Act (orders as regards the diversion of public paths).

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.
