I've seen a plot of land for sale semi rural which has no mains sewage. It's 80m down hill from a road that has a sewer running the opposite direct so joining into it isn't an option. Planning dept. and united utilities aren't ever keen on systems that pump up hill and they also work out expensive.
Theres no rivers/becks close by so the only option i can see from reading is a septic tank or package sewage treatment plant into a soakaway. Everything ive read says that however good you look after a septic tank, 10-20 years down the line even with good soil, it will eventually fail due to the soil clogging up.
Do you then need to have more space to dig another large hole to reinstall to?
Is it best to just give this plot a wide birth and look for another with mains sewerage?
