With separate tickets, UK APD is always due. It is a condition for treating the connection as a connection for APD purposes that both flights be on the same ticket. It is not like the US domestic tax where domestic tax is not due if connecting to/from an intl flight even on separate tickets as long as the tickets are cross-referenced.
