Thanks for the comments.
It is not a cavity wall, which makes it more difficult. The existing
cables are buried in plaster.
It would seem like the only real option I have is to run the cables down
the existing location. I will need to look into this further and do some
more checking.
In my original post (as above) I mentioned running cables in a 10
foot drop without any vertical support. What I forgot to make clear was,
in this instance, the cables would be in individual conduits and not just
left dangling. Would this make any difference?

Why not stick ( no nails , hot melt, impact adhesive whatever) DON'T
NAIL OR SCREW IT!!!!! pvc trunking onto the wall over the existing
run. then you can remove the lid and add the cables as you add new
circuits .Then when all cables run , remove the temp plastic trunking
chop out the plaster and remove old cables the put new cables in wall
with plastic or galv steel top hat type protection , doubt you will
get any wide enough to cover all the cables in one go or run in the
conduits remember you can get oval type conduit , round would probably
involve chipping away some of the brick/block to get it flush under
the plaster then plaster/ make good

That might have to be one way of doing it. As I'm doing it a bit at a
time, I would much rather have dove it permanently at a new location,
disconnecting the old cable at the CU then connecting the new one as I go
along. I could then clear out the old stuff at my leisure.
