Ways to pump sewage uphill -sugggestions?

[broadex]

I have got a site where the main sewage is uphill - about 2 metres from the bottom of the site- where a proposed dwelling will be. I'm told planning office are not keen on pressurised pumps. Just wondering any ideas to take into account before i engage an engineer - this is just a planning in principle so trying to get the costs down.

Is this connecting to mains sewage?  the usual solution is just a holding chamber and a pump, sometimes 2 pumps for redundancy.

Have a look at the kingspan website that should give you some ideas.  Plenty of companies with solutions.

Nothing to do with planning ..! It’s a building regs issue so don’t even bother including it in any plans. When you get planning, you’ll need to work out where to site a pump station (usually between 12-1600 litres depending on the number of bedrooms/WCs) and then that pumps to a chamber that is above the sewer level and gravity takes over. 
 

The tank needs to be minimum 3m from a house IIRC. 
 

Where in the UK are you..?

You will just need to run the uphill section from the pump station in different pipe.  The only issue I have found is getting it to lie flat in the trench, especially in cold weather.

I don't believe there is a distance requirement for pumped chamber.

 

There is however for ceptic tanks.

Think Scotland have a rule on it but can’t remember anything from the guidance in the BStd without looking (but it is only guidance not a regulation at that point)
