The Town and Country Planning (Crown Development Applications) (Hearings and Inquiries) Rules 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
11 Procedure after hearing: recovered applications
(1) This rule applies where a hearing has been held for the purposes of a recovered application. (2) After the close of the hearing, the inspector must— (a) prepare a written statement setting out their conclusions and recommendations or their reasons for not making any recommendations (“the inspector’s statement”), and (b) send a copy of it to the Secretary of State. (3) The Secretary of State, when making their decision— (a) must take into account— (i) any representations made to the Secretary of State pursuant to any notice of, or information about, or consultation in relation to, the Crown development application under the provisions of the 2025 Order which are received before the end of the applicable representation period, and (ii) any representations made at the hearing, and (b) may disregard any representations or information received after the hearing has closed. (4) Paragraph (5) applies if, when making their decision, the Secretary of State— (a) differs from the inspector on any matters of fact mentioned in, or appearing to the Secretary of State to be material to, a conclusion reached in the inspector’s statement, or (b) takes into consideration new information (not being a matter of government policy), and is for that reason disposed to disagree with a recommendation made in the inspector’s statement. (5) The Secretary of State must not come to a decision which is at variance with the inspector’s recommendation without first— (a) notifying in writing the persons entitled to appear at the hearing of the Secretary of State’s disagreement and the reasons for it, and (b) affording them an opportunity of making written representations to the Secretary of State.

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.
