What do you mean when you say "a loop-in supply?"
Do you mean an incoming supply that feeds one house and then feeds back out
to the next house?

Yes. They were common in the 1950s, but I've seen them as late as
1970s on "builder built one" houses where they ran off a neighbour's
cutout. Basically the combined "two" are limited to 60+80A re 135A
cable limit.

As you know DNO can't joint supply under driveway and can't do loop-in
supplies anymore under ESQW so it can get "buck passing" by the DNO if
things go wrong because they know the bill is quite substantial if
things go wrong.
