Common sense has prevailed here, the engineer has deemed the relative position of the boiler in relation to a potential proposed heat source i.e. eye level grill A RISK. There are regulations relating to this situation BS6798. This is a very extensive document so if you want to spend several hours trawling thorough it to find the relevant paragraph then be my guest, but for a quick definitive answer phone Gas Safe help line, the staff their will be happy to advise.
