Rather oddly, an inlet air vent is not required by the regulations in all cases even when a fan is fitted.
A fan extracting to the outside will create a considerable air flow and will usually suck air in from a multitude of draft entry points throughout the house.
Since a kitchen with cooking can get quite hot its often more comfortable to manage the air movement by providing an inlet within the kitchen itself so that the air flow is designed rather than just arises. It can also give a better extract flow if the house is quite airtight.

Generally all inlet and extract vents must be at least 300 mm from the nearest part of a fanned flued boiler terminal.
Inlet and extract vents should ideally be at least 600 mm apart to reduce recirculation.
