227ZHVariation of restricted movement requirement
(1)
This section applies where—
(a)
a community payback order which is in force in respect of an offender imposes a restricted movement requirement requiring the offender to be at a particular place specified in the requirement for any period, and
(b)
the court is considering varying the requirement so as to require the offender to be at a different place (“the new place”).
(2)
Before making the variation, the appropriate court must obtain and consider a report by an officer of the local authority in whose area the new place is situated on—
(a)
the new place, and
(b)
the attitude of any person (other than the offender) likely to be affected by the enforced presence of the offender at the new place.
(3)
The court may, before making the variation, hear the officer who prepared the report.
