Propose a change

Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023

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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

86 Power to require certain planning data to be made publicly available

(1) Planning data regulations may make provision requiring a relevant planning authority to make such of its planning data as is specified or described in the regulations available to the public under an approved open licence. (2) The power under subsection (1) does not include power to require a relevant planning authority to make planning data available in breach of— (a) any obligation of confidence owed by the authority, or (b) any other restriction on making the planning data available (however imposed). (3) An “approved open licence”, in relation to a planning authority’s planning data, means a licence— (a) which sets out terms and conditions under which the planning data may be used by the public free of charge, and (b) which is in such form and has such content as is, for the time being, specified or described in a document published by the Secretary of State.

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.
