196: Removal of heritage order

You could also call this:

“Explains how to take away special protection from important places and things”

Section 182 of this law applies to removing heritage orders, with some changes. You should think of a heritage protection authority as if it were a requiring authority, and a heritage order as if it were a designation. However, there’s one important difference: when a heritage order is removed from a district plan, it doesn’t take effect right away. Instead, it takes effect 10 working days after the territorial authority receives notice of the removal. It also takes effect if the territorial authority itself gives notice that it’s removing its own heritage order in its district.
