Not these days. You can have totally enclosed boilers virtually anywhere these days. They take their air from outside, the exhaust gases cannot get into the room, provided you have it checked regularly for safety, no problem!

Rubbish!

If that was the case then anyone without a garage would be without one.

Why do some people make silly claims about the law.

Heck, it is quite lawful to have the main fusebox in the WC! (as long as there is no bath or shower)
