We’ve just about finished our new kitchen with a Vaillant in a very similar position - got the deeper unit (600*480*720) but ended up cutting it down to 300 deep as it just fit - the unit doesn’t hang off the back wall brackets, is just screwed to the adjacent unit on one side and to the wall on the other, with the bottom sitting on the tiles underneath.
For the pipes, I’ve just made a two-sided plywood cover that will be tiled and slot over the pipework under the boiler/above the worktop.
Will take a photo when I’m back round later this afternoon.
edit: I should add that I probably wouldn’t have been able to make it work without the help of Ian the joiner

Chap at magnet yesterday (very impressive) set me straight on how impossible this Howdens boxing in of the boiler will be.
He thinks it'll be very difficult to do and didn't include it in his first sketch, though he didn't have measurements.
I think it'll look shit not boxed in...
Also magnet guy was saying big fridge/freezer space important and helps resale vs a small under counter fridge with a freezer compartment. Flat is for 2 people max really with a spare room
