298 The coastal access scheme
(1) Natural England must—
(a) prepare a scheme setting out the approach it will take when discharging the coastal access duty, and
(b) submit the scheme to the Secretary of State.

(b) reject the scheme and give Natural England a notice requiring it to prepare and submit a new scheme under subsection (1).

(4) Natural England may, with the approval of the Secretary of State, revise a scheme approved under this section.
(5) A scheme approved under this section (and any revised scheme) must set out the approach Natural England will take when deciding, for the purposes of section 55A(4) of the 1949 Act, whether it would be appropriate for an access authority to carry out any preliminary activity (within the meaning of section 55A(3) of that Act).
(6) The Secretary of State must lay before Parliament a copy of the scheme approved under this section and, where that scheme is revised, a copy of the revised scheme.

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.
