Section 201
Part 1 Grounds
1 That the vacancy condition was not met in relation to the premises on the day on which the initial letting notice was served.
2 That the premises cannot reasonably be considered suitable for the use identified in the final letting notice as the suitable high-street use.

(a) was required by section 197(1) to give consent, or
(b) would have been so required had it not failed to be satisfied as mentioned in section 197(2)(c), when any authority giving reasonable consideration to the matter would have been so satisfied.

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.
