Propose a change

Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004

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

116 Isles of Scilly

(1) This Act applies to the Isles of Scilly subject to such exceptions, adaptations and modifications as the Secretary of State may by order direct. (2) An order may in particular provide for— (a) the Council of the Isles of Scilly to enter into arrangements in pursuance of section 4; (b) the exercise by the Council of the Isles of Scilly of any function exercisable by a local planning authority or minerals and waste planning authority under Part 2 or 3. (3) But an order must not be made under this section unless the Secretary of State has consulted the Council of the Isles of Scilly.

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.
