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.
Change 1
12I Public examination
(1) A strategic planning authority that has prepared a draft spatial development strategy must, unless the Secretary of State otherwise directs, make arrangements for an examination of the draft strategy to be held in public. (2) Such an examination is to be conducted by a person appointed by the Secretary of State (the “examiner”). (3) The matters examined at an examination are to be such matters affecting the consideration of the spatial development strategy as the examiner considers appropriate. (4) The following may take part in an examination— (a) the strategic planning authority that prepared the strategy, and (b) any person invited to do so by the examiner. (5) No person is to have a right to be heard at an examination. (6) On conclusion of the examination, the examiner must make a report to the strategic planning authority that prepared the strategy. (7) The report may recommend that specified modifications are made to the draft strategy before it is adopted. (8) The report may recommend that the draft strategy is withdrawn. (9) The strategic planning authority must publish the report.

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.

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.
