Channelling wall for 32mm waste pipe

If you can get the depth to drop the pipe into the wall, then yes you could, it's not a normal approach though. You may find it hard to get the depth you want though without hacking out at least half a width of brick/block, not sure if that's a good idea especially on a load bearing/gable end.

Yup +1 .... Cutting a pipe that size into the wall isn't a usual an approach. It's usually a pedestal or straight out the wall as @Gasguru mentions or a vanity unit or paneling etc to hide it in. Either that or it's a stud wall where a pipe that size might be hidden, without compromising anything.
Thanks guys. For avoidance of doubt, I want to achieve something like this:
I assume this needs a “concealed” waste (and water) pipe. I could build a stud wall but I have a very tight space to work with as things are. I also noted one of the suggestions that a 1/3rd of the leaf ca be channeled? If yes, this would give me the depth I am looking for.
Appreciate your guidance on this.

I wouldn't ever recommend chasing 40mm channel into a brick wall to bury a waste pipe. Doesn't mean there could be issues, I just wouldn't recommend it.
Would a 40mm stud section be that much of a noticeable steal from the room size?

I assumed it would be 32mm for the basin?
Also, since I am boarding the walls (dot and dab), I could use the void behind the board too- meaning less recess into the wall. I just hadn’t appreciated that a vertical chase of this length would be problematic

Yup but you'll probably be using solvent weld, which is 36mm OD and then the fitting(s) which are 4mm wider at around 40mm, not to mention any banding used to secure the pipe. Your board will take up any flex in the run but I would say at least 40mm, I would think.

Agreed,I have never seen waste pipe chased into wall,,ever
but that has a built out small bulkhead, I agree with some others , I wouldnt be chasing a load bearing wall on a 3 story house
Thanks guys. My only other option is to stick with a pedestal stand and run the pipes behind this. I am surprised by how rare this is as I had assumed that a vertical chase of this height wouldn’t be a major issue. Also came across this and would appreciate your thoughts

Jupiter,
Would you be satisfied by putting the sink on the wall as you currently want, and put a 50mm plasterboard box section only directly under the sink to take pipes.
You will not get full floating sink look that you wanted, but no loss of space as sink still against wall.
