It shall not be lawful for any person to construct, make any additions to, keep or suffer to be kept on, or as part of, or incorporated into, any rubble wall, whether or not bordering on any street, path or footpath, or any rural construction, structure or tenement, or any land, any drum, tank or any other object which is not constructed of rubble wall building material.

(3) The competent authority may issue a permit to authorise the performance of any works or activity which would otherwise not be permitted under these regulations:

(b) satisfy all the protective conditions and safeguards contained in these regulations and in the Development Notification Order; and

(c) do not increase the height or extent of the existing wall or otherwise significantly modify the general site topography or the overall profile or character of the wall.
