modification, the council must forthwith order the owner to carry out that

rejects the particulars, or if an owner fails to submit particulars of work in
accordance with section 139(2), the council must--
(a) prepare, within 3
months after the acceptance, rejection or failure, particulars of the work
that it considers necessary to make provision for the matters specified in the
order referred to in section 139 given to the owner, and
(b) order the owner
to carry out that work.

it is required to do so by this section.

forms part of the order under section 124 to which it relates.
