We are thinking of building a drive in front of our house. However there is just one snag our gas meter is currently located at the bottom of the entrance to our property and this would have to form part of drive entrance. It will make it tight to get the car in and out and I may be worrying unnecessarily about if we accidentally crashed into it and caused a leak. I have tried to see if our gas company would install a smart meter and take away the old meter but they have informed me they can’t do this as the gas pipe would need digging up and relocating closer to the property and our regional gas network would be responsible for this and it would cost around £1,000. I am loathe to folk out to have the gas meter moved but I just wanted to check we wouldn’t fall foul of any regulations or health and safety requirements. I am sure others may have experienced the same problem so would welcome any advice.
