196: Removal of heritage order

You could also call this:

“Removing a special protection order from a historic place”

If you want to remove a heritage order, the rules from Section 182 apply. You treat the heritage protection authority like a requiring authority. You also treat the heritage order like a designation, but with some differences.

When a heritage order is removed from a district plan, it does not happen straight away. You have to wait 10 working days after the territorial authority gets the notice of removal. Alternatively, you wait until the territorial authority tells everyone that the heritage order has been removed from its own district.
