Is the sink on an outside wall? If so, can't you take the pipe out
through the wall at low level, and straight into a drain, rather
than connecting to
the sink waste?

I dont think you are allowed to discharge waste water into a rain
water drain.

Who said anything about a rainwater drain? Perhaps I wasn't explicit
enough - but I meant the same foul water gulley as the sink discharges
into.

Anyway, it depends on the house. Many older houses have combined foul
water and rainwater drains - our last house 1930's semi was like this, as
is our current Victorian house.

Back to the OP, I don't think their suggestion is practical either. If you
wanted to do it you'd have to work out a way of running a proper waste
pipe around the kitchen either behind (move the cupboards out....) or
inside the cupboards. You'd have to run the water supply around as well.

Our dishwasher is in the position the OP wants the washing machine. The
waste standpipe (with trap) is in the void behind the cupboard next to the
machine, it then runs behind this and the next cupboard into the corner
cupboard where it goes down into the void behind the plinth and runs through
this void (use a hole saw to cut holes in the cupboard sides at lower and
lower points) under the built in gas cooker until it exits the wall and
elbows into the foul water gulley. The water supply runs right behind the
kickboards in U shaped cutouts into the plinth. It involved pulling out the
two cupborads next to the dishwasher and doing the cutouts for the waste and
mounting the standpipe and trap, the rest was done in situ.
