Extend new circuit from outhouse into another property with an existing supply, which is bad idea or not allowed?

So there is a wooden outhouse with a consumer unit of its own with RCBOs in it that gets it supply from Building A using a 10mm SWA. Building A has a 3 phase 100A power supply. 


Building B needs a new socket for some domestic appliances but has no sockets that can handle the demand in the room where it is required (dishwasher and washing machine).


Due to layout of land and location of consumer unit location for Build B (which has its own single phase existing electricity supply)  it is easier to run a SWA from the consumer unit of the wooden outhouse into Building A. So Building B is using electricity supply of Building A through the consumer unit of wooden outhouse. 


I know there are some concerns about earth bonding potential differences but what options do I have? Can I just get electricity supply from the outhouse to Building B and extend and use the earth of sockets already in Building B? 


Is something I am doing here not allowed?

    If building B is the house, I am curious to know why building A has a 3-phase supply.


    A few years ago Building A needed more power and since it has a seperate physical address the DNO put in a seperate 3 phase power supply.
