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.

60 Provisions supplementary to sections 58 and 59.

(1) The authority referred to in section 58(1)(b) and (3A)(b) and 59(2A)(b) and (2D)(b) is— (a) the planning authority or the Secretary of State, in the case of planning permission granted by them, (b) in the case of planning permission deemed to be granted under section 57(1), the department on whose direction planning permission is deemed to be granted, (c) in the case of planning permission deemed to be granted under section 57(2), the Secretary of State, and (d) in the case of planning permission granted on an appeal determined under paragraph 1 or 5 of Schedule 4 by a person appointed by the Secretary of State to determine the appeal, that person. (2A) Where a planning authority grants planning permission, the fact that any of the conditions of the permission are required by the provisions of section 58 or 59 to be imposed, or are deemed by those sections to be imposed, does not prevent the conditions being the subject of a review under section 43AC or an appeal under section 47.

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.

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.
