It's very subjective but, speaking personally, I would find a bit of black cable neatly clipped to the wall more aesthetically pleasing than all that white plastic!

BIITEO etc.
I'd rather see a perfectly straight run of white (or black) pipe than cable. But round rather than oval.
Anyway, not a flush box so there is somewhere for a cable to exit.
BUT - it doesn't look like there's even room for an 800KMF, unless it will go to the right of the cutout, which would mean re-routing the tails into the house.
Soooooo - ignoring for now the interesting prospects of splitting the tails when there's no isolator and having to access the meter connections because the route of the tails through the house is unknown so they can't be used to go into one: a Henley in the meter cabinet and another enclosure below with a switchfuse or small CU, a socket for use outside the front of the house and SWA off to the outbuilding. Lockable enclosure to prevent misuse (if that's a potential problem) with a removeable gland plate in the base so that the door can be closed or locked when the socket is in use.

I never asked for a socket lol.
I've already got an external socket thanks.

It looks as if the DNO's supply cable (most of which is within that {IMO!} 'big oval white eyesore'), is both black and round!

I needed my spare fuse when commissioning to an external building was rushed and a cable was unterminated with L/N touching in a junction box.
I do like the use of proper spring steel clips though. The 22mm pipe clip is a nice fit but just not the same.
Edit just realised i'm a page or so behind!

I make it about 3 pages - but I don't think you've missed much
