Where an owner on whom an order under section 120 is served fails to comply with that order within the period specified in that order or any extension, granted by the Heritage Council on application of that owner, of that period—

the corporation may, in pursuance of section 113, resume or appropriate the land on which the building or work the subject of that order is situated, or

the Minister may, by order published in the Gazette, direct that no development or use of that land, other than the conservation of that building or work, shall be carried out or made during such period, not exceeding 10 years, as is specified in the order, or

the Minister may, by order published in the Gazette, direct that no development or use of that land is to be carried out other than development or use of the building envelope (that is, the three dimensional space) occupied by the building or work at the time that the order under section 120 was served.
