I have the standard u shaped bath trap but it is too tight on this new bath I have put in

I have 65mm of clearance. I don’t want to chop a hole out below the trap in the floor

Are there some slimmer versions.

I wonder if this might be slimmer than the one I have

 
These traps are generally non compliant and you run the risk of drain odours as the water seal is insufficient. There are multiple reasons for loss of trap seal.
Normally Approved Document H calls for a 75mm seal unless it drains into a gulley/hopper (ie. it's not under the influence if other sanitary discharges on the connected waste pipework) where it can be reduced to 38mm.
Waterless traps are available but afair they are not without issues..hair can become trapped leading to odours.
 
It’s for my property and I would like a solution if there is one. Or do I drill a big hole in the floor?
