The Act Changes to safe access zones Section 8: Reduction of safe access zones
26.A safe access zone can be reduced by decreasing the distance between the boundary of the safe access zone and the boundary of the protected site. The Scottish Ministers may choose to reduce the safe access zone of one or more protected premises if they consider it appropriate to do so.
27.Before reducing a safe access zone, the Scottish Ministers must consult either the operator of the protected premises or persons representative of the interests of operators, as well as any other persons the Scottish Ministers consider appropriate to consult.
28.If a safe access zone is reduced, the Scottish Minsters must update the list maintained under section 2(3)(b) with the details of the reduced safe access zone and the day on which the reduction takes effect (that day must be no earlier than the day the list is updated and can be the same day the list is updated).
