Upstairs toilet in semi detached goes to soil pipe and straight down into sewers. Is unventilated not allowed if it's just a single toilet? The volume being flushed in small so I don't get any suction

but the building regs is a bit ambiguous as it says Ventilation of branch pipes – separate ventilation will not be needed to prevent the water seals in traps from being lost by pressures which can develop in the system if the length and slope of the branch discharge pipes do not exceed
So in which case if you just have a single toilet on a soil pipe then for pressure equalization you dont need a vent. So the only other reason to need a vent would be to release the gases but I dont understand why you would want to release the gases? dont the gases get pushed along with the waste? If building regs requires EVERY house to vent for ventilation of gases then why is the public sewer line itself not ventilated?Why should two houses only 10 metres apart each need a vent when the main public sewer line runs for miles without even a single vent? seems contradictory

The purpose of a ventilated stack (apart from venting gases) is that when the toilet is flushed, the rush of water can both run efficiently and also not pull out any other water traps on the same run on the way.
