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.

What to do with it
As published

33A Notice requiring application for planning permission for development already carried out

Where there is a breach of planning control the planning authority may issue a notice— (a) requiring the owner of the land in, on, over or under which the development has been carried out to make an application to them for planning permission for the development, (b) describing the development in a way that is sufficient to identify it, (c) specifying a date by which the application is to be made, and (d) setting out the terms of section 123(1).

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.
