I am thinking of having a saniflow toilet / shower installed. As the
house is small, putting it inside my lean-to, which is on the back of
the house, would be ideal. I have electrics, water supply and drainage
in there already.
Does anyone know if this is ever done or feasible ? and do building
regulations or planning permission come into it ?

Thanks in advance

That rather depends on the lean-to. A couple of rickety planks
nailed together is a different proposition to a brick built one.

and do building
regulations or planning permission come into it ?

The former are likely to have several appropriate sections. The
latter are unlikely to apply, unless you want to make major changes
to the structure.

Install the commercial unit. The domestic units are useless.

The idea of a combination pumping loo and shower is rather
terrifying...

The pumping of such materials has been undertaken for something like
150 years. Although gravity sewerage is preferable, at times it has
to be pumped. In Ye Olden Days sewer pumping was done only at large
pumping stations powered by steam engines. However, for many decades
it has been done in smaller installations. Putting sewage ejector
into a search engine will reveal information on this. For some
decades small scale sewage ejectors, suitable for individual rooms,
have been produced the most well known being the Saniflo.

The point being that they were big enough to cope with the odd
sanitary towel, etc.

Sewage pumps of all sizes can be and are broken from time to time.
