SWA is fine in that situation.
However, a cable of that size also warrents a little extra precaution in my opinion. From a safety point of view you have complied with the regs, but it would be a bitch if that cable was damaged by a nail or screw. Ideally it would be routed elsewhere, if it had to go in the wall then I would be looking to cap it with some galv trunk lid or similar.
But as I say, to comply, SWA directly inthe wall is fine, no matter what the size.
