What about a 80A 3 phase switch-fuse in another meter box next to one with meter/cut out or if you think that after diversity the demand will be no more than 50A from house consumer unit.

Where's the over current protection for that bit of white T&E cable. I can only see the service fuse..
 
I can kind of see where you're going with this, but I'm not sure you'll get one small enough to fit in a meter box sensibly.
Plus I don't like the idea of a metal switchfuse in a meter box which doesn't really provide much in the way of waterproofing
100A Eaton Glasgow (reduced fuse size) but all depends on if after diversity the outbuilding can come off house consumer unit on 50A mcb

In my xperience they go rusty rather quickly in damp environments like this.

I thought when you said TP switchfuse you were suggesting using the L1 fuse for the house and the L2 fuse for the outbuilding, I can't see why you'd want a TP one otherwise on a single phase supply.

TP and switched N and yes fuse for L1 and L2 I take the point of if in a damp environment .I think Legand do a IP enclosure with din rail and have DP switches and fuse holders could be an idea

Personally I wouldn't be trying to reinvent the wheel, KMF switchfuses fit nicely in a meter box alongside the meter etc, so will be fine with two in an empty meter box.
 
the wylex amd 3 switch fuse isolators litterally just fit side by side!!!
enough room at the top to have a tails gland and make the swa off at the bottom

Again they are going to be painted metal which is not suitable for the environment of a meter cabinet, it will rust.
