No materials taken up or collected by means of dredging in pursuance of a dredging licence shall be laid down or deposited—
in contravention of any enactment as respects the disposal of waste; or
in any place below the level of high water otherwise than in such position and under such conditions and restrictions as may be approved or prescribed by the Secretary of State.
