An alternative would be simply to set up rain barrels, that also catches normal rain without a cistern.
If it can be proven that the capacity is sufficient for the expected rainfall ...?
Just because infiltration is required, a cistern (=retention) is not mandatory. On the contrary, anyone who has a cistern still needs an overflow, either into the sewer or by infiltration again (albeit on a smaller scale).
The cheapest form of infiltration is simply to let the water flow into a depression or a larger ground area. But you need space for that, which hardly anyone has nowadays. The second cheapest option is a soakaway shaft. Ask the authorities whether that can be approved.
