Building regs require and have always required a remote acting fire valve be fitted so yes you will have to fit one such as a teddington KBB (other approved types are available) I would remove the exisitng non- conforming valve to avoid future problems! 
It should be external to property with sensor above burner.
On external boilers it should be a min of 1m from boiler.
