What allowance for diversity, if any, would you apply to caravan hookup sockets?

The circuit will have just one hookup point, with two 16A sockets. It's a fair distance from the CU, so voltage drop is going to be significant. It would be good to keep the cable CSA down if feasible.
 
Doh! Yes, looked again and they stock these:

As above, charging per kWh might not be good for image / reputation but with a meter you can at least have a policy of charging extra if per-day use is above some reasonable X kWh
You got the gist of how my client used the meter to discover if the visitor was tearing the arse out of the free leccy supply through wanton carelessness. There would be a polite amiable discussion about being green, CO2 and saving the planet.....

Such visitors also upset the diversity assumptions for the supply.
