ELECTRICAL ENCLOSURE

Hi, I need to install / fit an external enclosure box onto an outside dry-stone wall (in the garden of the property) to enable 2 supply circuits to run from the enclosure, is this feasible and are there any regulations controlling this? Any help / advice would be appreciated.
Regards

Can the meter board be fixed directly onto the wall, I notice that the original is spaced away from the wall slightly, is this necessary?
