But that’s hassle I won’t engage with unless/until I have to.
It's not as bad as you think. Mine is a spur off a RCD 16a ring rather than back to the consumer unit. This a allowed under regs but is frowned upon (apparently). The expense is in the BWIC; digging the reinstating the trench, buying the armoured cable, etc. I did the grunt work myself to save money.

At the moment it’s a simple extension lead plugged into a socket- won’t take much load at all, but it’s temporary.
If it looks like becoming less temporary then I’d probably be best served by digging out the end of the armoured cable that runs under the road and connecting that back to the main CU. But that’s hassle I won’t engage with unless/until I have to.
