Whether you can get away with a common HV and LV earth depends on the allowable rise of earth potential, prospective earth fault current and the impedance of the earth grid. Some Companies have rules of thumb, but there isn't a universally applicable answer.

In the US, multi-grounded primary neutrals must be connected to an ground electrode at each transformer. See NEC Rule 96C.
