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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

12S Temporary direction pending possible use of intervention powers

(1) If the Secretary of State is considering whether to take action under section 12P in relation to a spatial development strategy, the Secretary of State may direct the strategic planning authority responsible for the strategy not to take any step, or not to take a step specified in the direction, in connection with the strategy— (a) until a time or event (if any) specified in the direction, or (b) until the direction is revoked. (2) A spatial development strategy to which such a direction relates is not operative while the direction is in force. (3) A direction given under this section in relation to a strategy ceases to have effect if the Secretary of State— (a) gives a direction under section 12P(2)(c) or (9)(c) in relation to the strategy, or (b) approves the strategy under section 12P(9)(a) or (b).

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.
