Sec. 6 to apply to walls hereafter erected or re-erected.
Limitation of length and height etc. of walls.
Buildings.
(iii) no storey shall exceed in height 16 feet without the permission of the Building Authority, who shall in such case prescribe to what extent, if any, the walls shall be increased in thickness. Such increase of thickness may be provided for by piers of the required thickness and of such collective length, not exceeding one-fourth part of the length of the walls, as the Building Authority may require.
(2) If any wall exceeds 35 feet but does not exceed 60 feet in length clear of cross walls, the thickness of such wall shall, unless the Building Authority otherwise permits, be increased by adding 4 inches to the thickness specified in subsection (1).
[17]
7. The provisions of section 6 shall also apply, in the case of existing buildings, to any walls or portions of walls hereafter erected or re-erected therein: Provided that in any case where from any cause it is not practicable or desirable to apply such provisions, the thicknesses shall be determined by the Building Authority.
[18]
8. (1) No wall, other than a boundary wall, shall exceed 60 feet in length, clear of any return or cross wall, without the approval of the Building Authority. A wall shall not be deemed a cross wall for the purpose of determining the length of any external or party wall unless it is carried up to the top of the topmost storey, and unless in each storey the aggregate extent of the vertical faces or elevations of all the recesses and that of all the openings therein taken together shall not exceed one half of the whole extent of the vertical face or elevation of the wall in such storey.
(2) No wall shall exceed 80 feet in height without the approval of the Building Authority. The height of every wall shall be measured from the level of the adjacent foot-path, or, where no foot-path exists, from the level of the street or ground outside to the highest part of such wall or, in the case of a gable, to half the height of such gable, but shall in no case include any portion of a wall which acts as a retaining wall.
