You can only make an order under section 175 if the Minister recommends it, and they must follow sections 177 to 185. The Minister will only recommend this order if they think it will help achieve the goal set out in section 174. They also need to consider things like the size of the area, how it will affect the community, and the people with a special interest in the area.
