I may get slated for asking, but I'll ask anyway to settle a difference of opinion. An exterior 4mm2 3 core overhead SWA, was supported by catenary wire over approx 15m between two buildings. Over time however bushes and trees have grown, and now hook/lift the cable in 4 places along its route (to approx the height it enters/exits both buildings), with subsequent cable droops between the lifted points. There's no strain on terminations but the cable is presumably being somewhat compressed/stretched at the hooked points and not supported between those points, possibly allowing stretching. An RCD is upstream of the cable. What code if any would be given if continuity and IR tests ok? There's always the "possibility" of something going wrong with the cable in the future, but if it tests ok can't see more than a C3.
I assume the cable has not already been scuffed - if it has that is more serious.

I've only eyeballed it from the ground at present on a quick visit, so I'll have to get in amongst it and have a good rummage about in the bushes to get a good closer look.
