I was thinking it might be possible to run a thick cable out to some

I don't know if that's allowed under the wiring regs?

Your proposed circuit would be non standard. Provided it was
designed, installed and documented properly no problem. Do you have
the skills to do this?

We have a qualified electrician doing the specification and
commissioning. I've just been looking at the regulations and trying to
figure things out so I can have meaningful conversations with him.

Surely my "proposed circuit" could be considered as a radial with
multiple spurs? In which case it could have as many spurs as necessary
so long as the cable length limit from CU to socket wasn't exceeded.
