There is an article in PE and I have just received it via email.
I am disappointed that the article seems to suggest that it contains all you need to know yet no mention is made of earthing systems

… but to suggest 3 phase in a normal UK house that would bring out most domestic electricians and some DNO employees out in a nervous rash.
Why would you not put it in, especially with a new connection? The extra cost is very little.
But it's human nature to be afraid of, and to avoid things which you do not know about. I have failed to convince family members to get it.
The downside is the bulk of TP DBs and AFAIK, there are no “domestic” ones in the UK market. They are also much more expensive than SP ones. TP RCBOs are eye-wateringly expensive and there is no option of having a “split load" board.
