Propose a change

Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990

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

15 Directions concerning notification of applications etc.

(1) The Secretary of State may direct that, in the case of such descriptions of applications for listed building consent as he may specify, sections 13 and 14 shall not apply. (2) Where a direction is in force under subsection (1) in respect of any description of application, local planning authorities may determine applications of that description in any manner they think fit, without notifying the Secretary of State or, as the case may be, the Commission. (3) Before giving a direction under subsection (1) in respect of any description of application for consent to the demolition of a building ..., the Secretary of State shall consult the Commission. (4) Where a direction is in force under subsection (1), the Secretary of State may direct a local planning authority that section 13 or, as the case may be, section 14 shall nevertheless apply— (a) to a particular application for listed building consent; or (b) to such descriptions of application for listed building consent as are specified in the direction; and such a direction has effect in relation to any such application which has not been disposed of by the authority by their granting or refusing consent. (5) Without prejudice to sections 10 to 14, the Secretary of State may give directions to local planning authorities requiring them, in such cases or classes of case as may be specified in the directions, to notify him and such other persons as may be so specified— (a) of any applications made to the authorities for listed building consent; and (b) of the decisions taken by the authorities on those applications. (6) Directions under subsection (1) or (5) may be given to authorities generally or to particular authorities or descriptions of authority.

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.
