I'm pretty certain that the £4.5k being quoted was on the basis of this being treated as a New Connection.

That's very different to the approach used for LCT Applications.

Overall, I recommend not having discussions about costs in a 'live' conversation.
You need that information in writing, so there's no question over what it refers to.

NGED's present RIIO-ED2 Agreement with Ofgem requires them to reduce those 'technical losses'.

Failure to do so will result in more outages due thermal stress caused by current in the Neutral (grey line in above graph).
