Too many sockets over too large area for protective device.

Hello,
The circuit is Sockets down 2.5/1.5 cable 8 points served (No ring) 15 A Bs 3036.
How can this problem be solved and rectified?

For sockets up again no ring 30 A BS 3036 2.5/1.5 3 points served it says too large protective device for cable size. How can this be solved and rectified?

Thanks in advance.
