This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
(1)This section applies during the supervision period of a suspended sentence order which imposes one or more community requirements.
But it does not apply if the order includes a residence requirement (see paragraph 13 of Schedule 9).
(2)The offender must not change residence without permission given in accordance with this section by—
(a)the responsible officer, or
(b)a court.
(3)The obligation imposed by subsection (2) has effect as if it were a community requirement imposed by the suspended sentence order.
(4)The appropriate court may, on an application made by the offender, give permission in a case in which the responsible officer has refused.
(5)A court may also give permission in any proceedings before it under Schedule 16 (breach or amendment of orders etc).
(6)The grounds on which the responsible officer or court may refuse an application for permission are that, in the opinion of the officer or court, the change in residence—
(a)is likely to prevent the offender complying with a requirement imposed by the suspended sentence order, or
(b)would hinder the offender’s rehabilitation.
(7)The responsible officer must refuse an application for permission if—
(a)the offender’s present residence is in England or Wales, and
(b)the offender’s proposed residence is outside England and Wales.
(8)For cases in which a suspended sentence order has to be amended because of permission given under this section, see paragraph 23 of Schedule 16 (amendment to reflect change in local justice area).
(9)In this section “the appropriate court” has the same meaning as in Schedule 16.
