From a house ring main can an external rcd socket be used as a fused spur to a small consumer unit in a garage less than 10m away using 2.5 buried protected cable? (2 LED strip lights and 4 double sockets in the garage)

Steve Mc:
Chris, Water in blue polypipe no gas or oil in the garage.
Thank you - that makes life simpler.
I take it that's a no for RCD protection of the circuit. The consumer unit at “low level” sounds like under the sink or similar. Oh well, when you have the CU replaced, that will fix the RCD issue.
