Is there absolutely no way, to run a small drain hose from the boiler, to a position under your sink?
Thanks for reply, sorry for lateness of mine.
The backdoor is in between the boiler and sink, so yes that could be done but the pipe would have to go up and over. So a pump would again be required.
If I'm having concerns about a soakaway, it looks like a pump may be unavoidable. Could maybe have a long pipe under the back patio paving slans, going into a soakaway in the garden. I'd much rather have a visible pipe so that I can make sure its working ok, not getting frozen etc.
These new regs, are a real bother.
If you picture the back corner of a semi, the kitchen faces the shared driveway. The gulley for the kitchen is on the shared driveway.
The boiler however, is at the back of the house. The backdoor is between the boiler, and corner of the house. So its really not possible to connect a discharge pipe to that gully, by force of gravity alone.

The rainwater downpipes, are at the corner of the house. So once again, the backdoor is unfortunately between boiler and pipes.
The pipe could indeed go below the sill, but I don't think gravity alone wouldn't be enough to get it around the corner to the gully.

There's still time!
