Near or near to

Hello,

When is it possible to use 'near to' instead of 'near'?

Eg., He lives near/to/ a theatre.

Thanks

Hello, I think in that sentence, near is fine: He lives near a theatre. I believe it's grammatical to say near the theatre or close to the theatre . To is sometimes necessary, in certain situations: -Don't go near to the fire.
