If, in regard to the whole or any part of a historic or natural district, classified historic site or protected area, a municipal corporation, a county corporation or an urban or regional community makes or amends regulatory provisions in relation to an operation referred to in the first paragraph of section 48, such corporation may, before or after their coming into force, submit such regulatory provisions for approval to the Minister, who shall obtain the advice of the Commission.

From the date provided in such notice, an operation subject to any of the regulatory provisions approved by the Minister shall not be undertaken in the whole or the part of the historic or natural district, classified historic site or protected area in question except in accordance with the terms and conditions provided for therein.
