Not working today Ant?Apart from the usual circuit design constraints, I can't see why not it is all from a fused spur limiting to 13A can have as many sockets as he likes for convenience.

I just wanted to tidy up the install and provide separate circuits to wire from in the garage rather than the all on the 13amp spur in the house.

Actually his input was constructive if you ask me, and as yet you've ignored my earlier response.
As for new builds, they are typically built with many issues .... Trying to get a builder to resolve is almost impossible.
Your focusing on the wrong things.
I want sockets where they suit my requirements, as in a couple above a bench, one double at each corner of the garage for convenience etc.
I'm not growing weed in my garage and wont be running effing big grow lamps!
I'm aware I have 13amps to use.
Its not easy to upgrade the supply so I have to live with what I've got.
I just want to make sure what the builder put in is right or if not confirm its wrong and I will pursue them (you have 2 years to do this).
Also what I plan to do has no issues to current regs.
That is all.

It would just seem wrong to me to be wiring the sockets from the incoming side and lights from the load side of the fused spur in the garage.
Other than having 2 x RCD's in series (I understand both or either could trip) am I not improving the install by providing MCB protection in the garage.
a. The builder should've earthed the armoured at one or both ends?
b. Should he have provided DP isolation on the outgoing external supply?
