55 Planning permission for development in enterprise zones.

(1) An order designating an enterprise zone under Schedule 32 to the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980 shall (without more) have effect on the date on which the order designating the zone takes effect to grant planning permission for development specified in the scheme or for development of any class so specified. (2) The approval of a modified scheme under paragraph 11 of that Schedule shall (without more) have effect on the date on which the modifications take effect to grant planning permission for development specified in the modified scheme or for development of any class so specified. (3) Planning permission so granted shall be subject to such conditions or limitations as may be specified in the scheme or modified scheme or, if none are specified, shall be unconditional. (4) Subject to subsection (5), where planning permission is so granted for any development or class of development the enterprise zone authority may direct that the permission shall not apply in relation to— (a) a specified development, (b) a specified class of development, or (c) a specified class of development in a specified area within the enterprise zone. (5) An enterprise zone authority shall not give a direction under subsection (4) unless— (a) they have submitted it to the Secretary of State, and (b) he has notified them that he approves of their giving it. (6) If the scheme or the modified scheme specifies, in relation to any development it permits, matters which will require approval by the enterprise zone authority, the permission shall have effect accordingly. (7) The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision as to— (a) the procedure for giving a direction under subsection (4), and (b) the method and procedure relating to the approval of matters specified in a scheme or modified scheme as mentioned in subsection (6). (8) Such regulations may modify any provision of the planning Acts or any instrument made under them or may apply any such provision or instrument (with or without modification) in making any such provision as is mentioned in subsection (7). (9) Nothing in this section prevents planning permission being granted in relation to land in an enterprise zone otherwise than by virtue of this section (whether the permission is granted in pursuance of an application made under this Part, under section 242A or by a development order). (10) Nothing in this section prejudices the right of any person to carry out development apart from this section.

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.
