Where does Part-P come into play? Could you clarify? Why does locating
a boiler in a kitchen have a bearing on the matter?

If there were not already an adjacent fused connection unit to connect
the boiler to, then that would require modification or addition to a
circuit in a "special location" which is a notifiable under part pee.

Thanks. If I put a 3-pin plug on the boiler's cable and plug it into a
regular socket connected to the ring main, is that satisfactory, or is
something more exotic required? There is already a standard socket
near the planned boiler location that I could use.

Jak

Only if the socket is an unswitched one (which are uncommon but available).
Also there will the cable for the thermostat/progstat (you might be able
to get around that with a wireless unit).

Finally there is the matter of Part J (heat producing appliances) and Part
L (energy efficiency) notifications.
