Condenser Tumble Dryer in Old Airing Cupboard?

I’m not really used to tumble dryers so know very little about them. I’ve recently bought a flat, but the kitchen is literally a tiny galley kitchen (older style mansion block type). I hate clothes airers everywhere (not to mention the humidity/mould that can cause), so bought a combined washer-dryer. Bosch, so not hopeless, but not great either and overall a bit disappointed.

I have the old hot water tank cupboard, which is now just a storage cupboard, at the back of the kitchen. It’s about 80x80cm. Could a condenser dryer go in here, if I leave the door open when in use, or is that not going to be enough ventilation?

I’ve seen other flats when I was looking around which have a washing machine/tumble dryer stack in the old airing cupboard, so I’d think putting a condenser dryer in here would be possible, but advice online seems to be conflicting.

I also need to find a way to somehow fit in a slimline dishwasher, as being without one for the first time ever, I’m sorry but I think it’s a must these days. But that’s another story!!…. 😂

I had one in a cupboard years ago which was fine as long as I left the door open. I never left it on if I was out of course but then I wouldn’t do that with my washing machine either which I know some people do.

I have a new Bosch heat pump dryer and it has practically zero condensation, so I can close the door of the small cupboard it is in. My previous condenser dryer needed the door open at all times.
