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
23 Adoption of local development documents
(1) The local planning authority may adopt a local development document (other than a development plan document) either as originally prepared or as modified to take account of— (a) any representations made in relation to the document; (b) any other matter they think is relevant. (2) If the person appointed to carry out the independent examination of a development plan document recommends that it is adopted, the authority may adopt the document— (a) as it is, or (b) with modifications that (taken together) do not materially affect the policies set out in it. (2A) Subsection (3) applies if the person appointed to carry out the independent examination of a development plan document— (a) recommends non-adoption, and (b) under section 20(7C) recommends modifications (“the main modifications”). (3) The authority may adopt the document— (a) with the main modifications, or (b) with the main modifications and additional modifications if the additional modifications (taken together) do not materially affect the policies that would be set out in the document if it was adopted with the main modifications but no other modifications. (4) The authority must not adopt a development plan document unless they do so in accordance with subsection (2) or (3). (5) A document is adopted for the purposes of this section if it is adopted by resolution of the authority.

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.
