32 Temporary use of land for maintaining the authorised project

(1) Subject to paragraph (2), at any time during the maintenance period relating to any part of the authorised project, the undertaker may— (a) enter upon and take temporary possession of any land within the Order limits if such possession is reasonably required for the purpose of maintaining the authorised project; (b) enter on any land within the Order limits for the purpose of gaining such access as is reasonably required for the purpose of maintaining the authorised project; and (c) construct such temporary works (including the provision of means of access) and buildings on the land as may be reasonably necessary for that purpose. (2) Paragraph (1) does not authorise the undertaker to take temporary possession of— (a) any house or garden belonging to a house; (b) any building (other than a house) if it is for the time being occupied; (c) any land shaded yellow on the land plans; or (d) any land located within the boundary of any highway for which the highway authority is responsible. (3) Not less than 28 days before entering upon and taking temporary possession of land under this article the undertaker must serve notice of the intended entry on the owners and occupiers of the land and that notice must state the period for which temporary possession will be taken and the purpose for which the undertaker intends to take possession of the land except as provided in paragraph (11). (4) The undertaker may remain in possession of land under this article only for so long as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the maintenance of the part of the authorised project for which temporary possession of the land was taken. (5) Before giving up possession of land of which temporary possession has been taken under this article, the undertaker must remove all temporary works and temporary buildings and restore the land to the reasonable satisfaction of the owners of the land. (6) The undertaker must pay compensation to the owners and occupiers of land of which temporary possession is taken under this article for any loss or damage arising from the exercise in relation to the land of the powers conferred by this article. (7) Any dispute as to a person’s entitlement to compensation under paragraph (6), or as to the amount of the compensation, is to be determined as if it were a dispute under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act. (8) Subject to article 39 (no double recovery), nothing in this article affects any liability to pay compensation under section 152 (compensation in case where no right to claim in nuisance) of the 2008 Act or under any other enactment in respect of loss or damage arising from the maintenance of the authorised project, other than loss or damage for which compensation is payable under paragraph (6). (9) Where the undertaker takes temporary possession of land under this article, the undertaker is not required to acquire the land or any interest in it. (10) Section 13 (refusal to give possession to the acquiring authority) of the 1965 Act applies to the temporary use of land pursuant to this article to the same extent as it applies to the compulsory acquisition of land under this Order by virtue of section 125 (application of compulsory acquisition provisions) of the 2008 Act. (11) Where the undertaker has identified a potential risk to the safety of— (a) the authorised project or any part of it; (b) the public; or (c) the surrounding environment, the requirement to serve notice under paragraph (3) does not apply and the undertaker may enter the land pursuant to paragraph (1) subject to giving such period of notice (if any) as is reasonably practicable in all the circumstances. (12) In this article “the maintenance period” in relation to any part of the authorised project means the period of five years beginning with the date on which that part of the authorised project is brought into operational use by the undertaker.

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.
