The Building Safety Levy (England) Regulations 2025
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
15 Charge to building safety levy
(1) A building control application is “chargeable”, subject to the exception in paragraph (2), if— (a) the building work to which the application relates would result in a new building which includes residential floorspace, an existing building which includes residential floorspace where previously it had none (whether by extension or change of use) or an existing building with an increased total area of residential floorspace (whether by extension or change of use), and (b) the building work to which the application relates— (i) is major residential development, or (ii) is part of a wider development which is major residential development. (2) But a building control application is not chargeable if the named client (or, if there is more than one named client, each of them) in relation to the application is an exempt person. (3) The charge to building safety levy becomes payable, in respect of a chargeable application, when a levy liability notice or a revision to a levy liability notice is given in relation to the application. (4) Building work is “part of a wider development” if— (a) some or all of the building work is permitted to be carried out pursuant to a planning permission, granted before or after the building control application is submitted, for a wider development, or (b) the building work affects only the interior of a building or buildings and is carried out as part of a wider development for which a planning permission is granted, whether before or after the building control application is submitted.

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.
