(a) a place at which provisional draft regulations may be inspected at all reasonable hours and from which a copy of those draft regulations may be obtained on request; and

(b) a date (not being earlier than six weeks after the date of publication of the notice) by which representations with respect to the draft regulations, which should include the grounds for any objection thereto, must be sent in writing to the Council;

and on causing such a notice to be published the Council shall send a copy of the notice and of the draft regulations to the Minister and to each local authority the whole or part of whose area is for the time being, or would under the draft regulations become, a controlled area ; and the Council shall not make any regulations in pursuance of the proposal to which the notice relates before the expiration of the period of twelve weeks beginning with the date when the notice is published.
