Location of restricted premises
7.35 Location of restricted premises
The objective of this clause is to ensure that restricted premises are not visually prominent from public places or other locations regularly frequented by children.
Development consent must not be granted to development for the purposes of restricted premises if the premises would be located on land that adjoins land, or is separated only by a road from land—
in Zone R1 General Residential, Zone R2 Low Density Residential, Zone R3 Medium Density Residential or Zone R4 High Density Residential, or
that is used for the purposes of a centre-based child care facility, a community facility, an educational establishment, a place of public worship, a recreation area, a recreation facility (indoor), a recreation facility (major) or a recreation facility (outdoor), or
that is used for the purposes of restricted premises or sex services premises, or
in relation to which development consent has been granted for the purposes of a centre-based child care facility, a community facility, an educational establishment, a place of public worship, a recreation area, a recreation facility (indoor), a recreation facility (major), a recreation facility (outdoor), restricted premises or sex service premises.
Before granting development consent for the purposes of restricted premises, the consent authority must take into account—
the impact of the proposed development on places of high pedestrian activity, and
the impact of the proposed development on land frequented by children for care, recreational or cultural purposes, and
whether the appearance of the restricted premises is sufficiently discreet.
