This section applies where a court makes a suspended sentence order which imposes community requirements.
The power to impose a particular community requirement is subject to the provisions of the Part of Schedule 9 relating to requirements of that kind (see column 2 of the table in section 287).
If the suspended sentence order imposes two or more different community requirements, the court must, before making the order, consider whether, in the circumstances of the case, the requirements are compatible with each other.
The court must also ensure, so far as practicable, that any community requirement imposed by a suspended sentence order is such as to avoid—
and satisfies any additional restrictions that the Secretary of State may specify in regulations.
Regulations under subsection (4) are subject to the negative resolution procedure.
