Wisdom of pumping off the main...

Not sure if it's still the case but you used to be allowed to pump the mains,but no more than 12 lpm - any more needed approval from the water authority.
It might be worth speaking to them to check.
 
Thank you all for your sensible and helpful replies to what felt like a daft question. I've never heard of a break tank and this looks like it might be worth a good look.

I do have the space (and reinforcement) for a clean tank in the loft too, but a little concerned about the noise of a pump. Without one, being a bungalow, I'm thinking it'll be worse than a direct mains feed.

I have a hefty shower pump already, which is way too loud to consider for something like this which will be in constant use.
