External RCD/sockets

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)

    Generally, it is not a good plan.

    If you are planning to have a freezer in the garage it comes under the heading of completely daft, as may well end up losing your Christmas dinner and more.

    Who'd want to steal his Christmas dinner?
