This section applies in relation to an application under section 59 to remove an unrestricted club licence or a hotel licence to premises other than premises specified in the licence if—

within a 1km radius of the existing licensed premises, or
the proposed premises are situated—
on urban use land, or land that adjoins urban use land, and
within a 5km radius of the existing licensed premises.
Despite another provision of this Act, if the application is granted—
for a registered club licence—the registered club may continue to operate the club’s premises under the licence as if the licence were an unrestricted club licence, or
