Technically, I think that would be covered by the location H restrictions:
"From an internal or external corner, or to a boundary alongside the terminal (2) " (my emphasis; see diagram on page 49)
For a balanced fanned flue, that minimum distance is 300 mm. However, for both this diistance, and for the opposing boundary measurement, the distance can be less if the applicance has been "shown to operate safely" at that distance.
All in all, you are right not to worry - if you watch how most professional Gas Safe-registered engineers ignore their **legal** obligations with respect to working on open gas ways, a possible, theoretical non- compliance with an obscure clause buried in the approved documents is not even worth giving a second thought to.
