191: Recommendation by territorial authority
or “A local council looks at information and decides if a special place should be protected.”
You could also call this:

“This part explains which rules for designations also apply to heritage orders, treating heritage protection authorities like requiring authorities.”

When someone asks for a heritage order under section 189 or 189A, other parts of the law also apply. These parts usually talk about designations and requiring authorities, but for heritage orders, we treat them differently.

Here’s how it works:

You can think of the heritage protection authority as if it were a requiring authority. The heritage order is treated like a designation. When these other parts of the law mention section 171, you should think of it as section 191 instead.

These are the other parts of the law that apply:

Section 172 is about decisions made by requiring authorities. For heritage orders, this means decisions made by heritage protection authorities.

Section 170 lets people choose to include requirements in proposed plans.

Section 173 says these decisions need to be shared with the public.

Section 174 allows people to appeal against these decisions if they don’t agree.

Section 175 talks about how designations are shown in district plans. For heritage orders, this means how heritage orders are shown in district plans.

Section 180 explains how designations can be transferred. This means heritage orders can also be transferred.
