Nothing is impossible, but it is usually not recommended, as there can be leaks in the angle fittings towards the borehole or, in the worst-case scenario, having to remove the hoses due to a leak in the turning block (although I have never heard of this).
With a concrete slab, the hoses are locked under it and can't be lifted for any potential repairs. It's the same as some have experienced with their water boreholes, which they have built into small cottages and garages, where it's not uncommon to need lifting at some point.

The answer is probably no, 
to be able to access the pipes, there must be free space of at least 2x2 meters starting at the hole and in the direction of the pipes in the ground, as well as 3 meters up from the ground, hoses are not like a string, they are rigid and require a lot of space
There is nothing to prevent building over the hole, but it's a lottery, could be a losing ticket

It has happened (though it is unusual) that water has seeped up from the borehole due to poor sealing of the casing, rusted-through casing, broken cap, etc., causing the ground to become undermined. Unfortunate if it happens under the house.
