Have a gas meter under the stairs. Ideally I wold like it in a cupboard in the kitchen with the combi, etc. This would mean extending the gas meter inlet about 1 to 1.5 metres. The idea is to have a the maintap in the existing location where the mains pipe enters the house, where it always has been. Extend the inlet in iron pipe, in case of fire, to the cupboard then fit another maintap at the new meter location, as per a normal gas meter fitting. The extended inlet would be very clipped.
Apart from a foot or so of mains pipe into the property, as is the case for all gas meters, all the gas pipe in the house is controlled in that all can be isolated. Also the gas meter is away from under the stairs which is a bad spot to have a gas meter in case of fire. It would save digging the ground up outside and extending the gas main pipe under the ground. From a safety point of view I can't see anything that is wrong with it. Would the Gas people allow this?
Of course qualified men would do it. I need to know for the design side of the renovation.
