We have just moved into a house built using Laing Easiform or another similar construction technique (ex MOD married quarters). In every room throughout the house there are airbricks leading directly to the outside. These are about 9 by 6 inches with 1/4 inch slots. As you can imagine it can get a bit draughty and someone has half blocked one up with polyfiller in one of the bedrooms.
I can see why you'd need one in a room with a gas fire in or in the kitchen but is it necessary in every room? Would it be ok to cover them over in the bedrooms? I assume the bricks ventilate the cavity and as you can see the outside world through them they would ventilate even if the inside vent was blocked.
