Single phase sub-main

Evening, I'm seeking some advise pls. I have a 4core 25mm2 SWA and was going to use this for two single phase submains running from and to a common point, where the circuits will then go into separate consumer units. limited loads a garage and stable. The cable will have DP isolation and RCD protection on each circuit (2cores L+N per sub main) at the supply point. I'm also looking to run a separate earth cable of 25mm2 which would be common to both circuits and armouring of the SWA cable is also earthed and common. My question is I believe this to be complaint with 17th Ed; As I can't see anything saying its not. Second question, could I common the neutral for both submains and therefore use the fourth conductor in the SWA as an earth which would save installing the separate earth cable? Again, I can't see anything incorrect as limited loads to a couple of sockets and a few lights.  thanks for assistance. GA

    And of course, I don't know whether the stable has a concrete floor or wooden floor … if concrete, re-bar recommended to be main-bonded regardless of supply earthing arrangement (not just PME) see 705.415.2.1.

    Does Section 705 always apply to stables? The picture that I got from the OP was that the stables and garage were in a domestic setting.
