Admittedly I was of course hoping for an easy out involving the flowerbed but I realise that would be a riskier option.
The sewer is foul water. I have no idea on depth and size of the pipe, I would need to buy plans from severn trent water to be sure of everything.
Can I access foul drains for surface water? I didn't think it was allowed.
Thank you very much for your help and input so far.

Is that a rain water down pipe next door, if so what does it connect to? If it is a Surface Water system, one option is to put a land drain in the flower bed.
May not keep to Subs….

You can't saddle on to a 110mm pipe. In theory, you could saddle a 100mmonto a 150mm but it so seriously weakens the 150mm piece that it's not summat I ever liked doing. At lest with a 225mm main line, there's more than half the barrel left intact...

I didn't assume anything Sean,it was obviously a typo from the bossman
iME no underground pipe is less than 110mm
If I had to connect to a main run I would put a 300 mm chamber minimum in

The saga of the toilet seat. Had one of those slow closer bog seats for about 4 years. It never fitted in as holes didn't match up, kept coming off and finally it lost the will to live, finally collapsed as the brother in a state of intoxication ended up on the floor, i'll leave it to your imagination about the colostomy bag. Ordered a last minute one off argos on line. I for some reason :p ended up in the wrong argos centre, to late to to go to the other one. All they had left was a cheappie jobby. Head down toilet 12.00 oclock xmas eve fixing it ( well did have to wait for wife to open her present ) 
Xmas morning, thinking it was the slow closer i let lid go.....ssmmmaaaassssshhhhhh!!! House awake with the sound of me ou, ou ouching, jumping around shussshing but to late, all awake , grandaughter crying wife effing and blinding. Managed to fix it temporarily with god knows what.....You get what you pay for Happy xmas :;): :p :laugh:

You can still get 100mm clayware, strange as it may seem to you sophisticated southern types!
Do they do plastic saddles? I can't recall seeing one and in my state of turkey-induced lethargy, I can't be arsed looking them up...

Now i always go by the inside bore of a pipe eg; 100ml, 150ml etc: I've put in a load of hpde electroweld on my job and the 110, 160 etc;outside dia' was'nt consistent with the inside bore which varied in thickness to whatever pumping pressure was needed eg: 1 bar 7 bar 10 bar etc: Rab i think will back me on this. Hope this ends the confusion and get's me off the hook :;):

Thanks for the input on this.
I think I'm going to dig a couple of trenches and investigate pipe locations and sizes etc. I have a feeling I'm going to hit clay several feet down if I choose the soakaway route.
Hmm, might wait for it to stop raining first...
