You like to do things the hard way then!

You will require a spare fuseway in the consumers unit

For 2 lightbulbs and a socket a 13A spur off of the ring will suffice,
but a dedicated circuit is the ideal solution.

I have seen 1.5mm2 cable spured of an FCU for a chentral heating
boiler which then ran outside throung an airbrick to a flex connector
branching off into 2 separtate 1.5mm2 cable one was bured under the
turf and ran to the pond the other ran about 25mtrs to the garage.
Inside the garage the wiring was in 4 core flex with 2 6ft
flourescents and a couple of twin sockets powering a freezer. There
was no RCD protection and overcurrrent protechtion was by BS3036
fuses,was all fine until the gardener got his spade out one day.....

On a more recent job i found that "you can switch the garage light
from inside the house" cos they spured directly off a twin socket on
the ring in 2.5mm2 cable into a 1way lightswitch splitting the phase
across it then the cable ran to the garage under the patio.
There was also a 2.5mm2 ran from a 15a Type 1 MCB running to the
garage into a rather old Wylex board which feed one socket.
