Thanks John regards the SPD. ON the tails issue I am using a gland
and I would have space on the right hand side of the CU to enter from
the underneath my only issue is that it is a MK Sentry CU which
unfortunately unlike others is handed in respect that the main switch
has to go to the left hand side. This means that I would have to
route the tails across the box. The job might be made easier if I am
allowed to strip the outer insulation just past the gland to make
bending the 25mm2 cables slightly easier, however I do not know if
that is permissible as I have only ever seen tails fully sheathed
almost to the main switch?

Assuming its not TT, then you can strip the outer of the tails inside
the CU.

Note also you can get flexi tails, which are made with a a larger number
of finer strands of wire, and are designed to be far easier to work with
in situation where you need to bend them about a bit.

IIRC Toolstation have some...
