Not so. I think you might find it hard to find a boiler suitable for
installing outside. So any form of building that shields it from the
weather etc could do a lot of damage if it blew up.
Clearly youve not understood my question at all. Feel free to cease

However, if you were to €śoutstall€ť a boiler, I.e. fit it either on the
outside of your property or even in a detached outhouse/ventilated bunker

Dave is answering the part of your question about installing a boiler
outside. It's common with oil boilers but I've never seen a gas boiler
designed to be installed outside. If it's not designed for it, the
installer is not installing according to the manufacturer's instructions
which would be a building control fail.
In any kind of structure there's still the risk of gas buildup if improperly
installed. I don't know how much ventilation would mitigate that. You
could do the calculations and ask the BCO to do a risk assessment I suppose.
But I doubt it would get you off the hook as far as building regs goes.
