Thanks for this. The previous owners did that for the boiler and don't think anything bad came of it. My only concern of doing it there is how close it would be to my neighbours' windows. At my dad's house, steam going out strips the white paint on the wall outside and if I did that to their windows I'd know about it. Only met them once and I think I can tell (when asking if someone could stand on their porch to work on the window 'You'll need scaffolding / I'll need to check'
Would be great if I could fit a minimum bathroom where the sink and toilet are now, but i think it's too tight. If that dividing wall could go and I could end the bathroom at the edge of the window, that'd be good.
Really stuck on kitchen/bathroom layout design

Would be way easier to just blitze a hole through wall and position extractor between window surround and that corner of building. If its done well, and a darker/grey coloured outlet is installed it will look tidy and make your window puzzle a lot easier. AFAIK no planning required for domestic bathroom/kitchen ventilation unless frontage is listed somehow. Conservation areas aren't usually bothered about vents.
Only move around I could see is get a short + wide bath, we got a 'carron quantum se carronite' which is shorter than a regular bath, regular external width (700-750mm) but really really useful internal size for showering. Takes an age to fill as its volumetrically massive, has very steep side walls and a large flat area in the bottom. Defo get a 'carronite' or the higher grade of material (from any bath supplier), bloody hate noisey creaky baths.
Could put a bath sideways across where toilet is, decent shower cubicle (get solid glass, bonded onto bath, no nonsense, no leaks), sink move it onto back of that divider wall (either side) and then relocate toilet to where the bath taps are now. Only way I can see of making that space a bit more logical.
When plumbing up a shower, try to get full size (22mm?) pipes of both h+c from boiler to the bathroom, then split down into 15mm to each fitting from there. It 'shouldn't make a difference to the flow rate of the shower, but defo did in our case.
