Or can builders opt to install individual septic tanks/cesspits?
These are small housing estates of up to, say, 50 houses not on mains drainage.

method to be used will be part of the conditions for planning permission for the site.
Whichever works. If the area of land available to the individual houses is large enough, they could have their own, otherwise a communal system is required. I suspect it's the developer who would prefer a single larger system than 50 individual systems.
Yes, but it's a pig of a problem: Same thing happens with private roads..who is going to pay to maintain it?
"I s*it less than you do"
In one road the people near the exit complained that
a) they never used the top, so why should they pay and almost in the same breath
b) that other people further up the road should pay for their bit, as it was them who used it the most!
ISTR similar howls of protest when someone tried to scale council taxes according to number of occupiers..
And this matters to a housing estate developer, how...?
It OUGHT to affect saleabiliy and price.
