restricted area—
(a) does not apply to land that is owned and occupied by the local
authority;

consult the owner or occupier of the land.
(6) In the case of a person or body designated under section (Bodies other than
local authorities with statutory functions in relation to land), the necessary
consultation also includes consultation with the local authority which
(ignoring subsection (2) of that section) is the authority for the area that
includes the restricted area.
