General guidance as provided by environmental regulators
For development proposals in sewered areas, it is usually a legal requirement to connect to the public sewer, either by gravity or pumping, as the sewage is conveyed to a municipal sewage treatment works.
However, if it can be demonstrated that the proposed sewage disposal system offers a more sustainable solution to the overall water management of the site, then the regulators will consider the installation of a ‘private’ system.
For any such proposal you should:
Check with your regulating body to confirm current status with regard to Registration/Consent, quality and volume limits, etc
Take account of the requirements of Building Regulations and discuss with the local planning authority at an early stage - well before any planning application is made
