Provided that

(a) In the case of a domestic building, erected on land leased from the Crown after the 21st February, 1903, any part of the building, in the rear of the nearest main wall of the same building opposite to the front main wall, may be erected to a height equal to the width of the street on which such building abuts but no portion whatsoever of such rear part of the building (except any chimney, party wall or parapet not exceeding three feet in height) shall extend beyond the heigh so determined.

(b) In the case of a domestic building erected on land leased from the Crown prior to 21st February, 1903, and which has no verandahs or balconies projecting over any street, any part of the building in the rear of the nearest main wall of the same building opposite to the front main wall, which does not extend more than half the width of the main building as measured on the rear main wall, may be erected to a height equal to one and a quarter times the width of the street on which such building abuts. From a point thus determined on the rear main wall of such rear part of the building a line may be drawn at an angle of 68° with the horizontal and no portion of this part of the building whatsoever (except any chimney, party wall or parapet not exceeding three feet in height) shall fall outside such line.

(c) In the case of any existing building which has no verandahs or balconies projecting over a street and which already exceeds in height one and a quarter times the width of the street upon which it abuts, the structure of the roof or any part thereof shall not be altered in such a manner that any portion of such structure shall fall outside lines drawn at angles of 68° with the horizontal from points determined by measuring on the line of the wall abutting upon the street and the nearest main wall opposite to such wall a vertical height equal to 1 times the width of the street upon which the building abuts.

(d) In the case of any existing building which has veran- dahs or balconies projecting over a street and which already exceeds in height the width of the street upon which it abuts, the structure of the roof or any part thereof shall not be altered in such a manner that any portion of such structure shall fall outside lines drawn at angles of 68° with the horizontal from points determined by measuring on the line of the wall abutting upon the street and the nearest main wall opposite to such wall a vertical height equal to the width of the street upon which the building abuts.

(e) In no case shall any building hereafter erected exceed five storeys in height or a total height of eighty feet unless with the consent of the Governor in Council.

(2) In the event of the street on which a building abuts not being level throughout the extent of such building, the height shall be measured from the central point of the external face of the wall abutting on such street.

(3) The full vertical height allowed by section 87 shall apply only for the width of the building so far as it abuts upon the street by which the height is regulated; and the height of any portion of the building which does not so abut shall be determined by the Building Authority.

(4) In any case which does not fall within the fore-going provisions the height of the buildings shall be determined in such manner as the Building Authority may direct.
