I don't even like a cable on show indoors or out. Certainly wouldnt accept that. I'd make the route available for the gasman to route the pipe inside. (Or inside to the floor, out, horizontal and back inside.)
Gate hits gas pipe to boiler - fail regs?

You have no idea,in fact nor do we, what the remit or discussion was.
What we do know is that the OP had not complained about the appearance, but the technicality if safety and regs.
All the pros here have confirmed there is no reg or safety issue, but we have pretty much all acknowledge that the route is not necessarily the smartest.
If think the general consensus is that the OP is unhappy with the appearance but is trying to make it a safety issue, rather than having the balls to complain about the appearance.
Gas Safe will have no interest, and it will just be another expense that we, the RGI's have to bear with our fees.
OP: either man up, or buy a stop.
The neatest route IMO would have been to notch out the back of the gate post and run it straight through... 10mins with a mutlitool

Not enough res on the image to see properly but there's definitely something worth a closer look!
Hadn't noticed. Must look OK close up.
Maybe he was testing bashing the gate against it
It's nowhere near the gate! It's just short of the entry through the wall on the right hand side of the photo.

Surely - from a customer service point of view - a half hour job to move the upper horizontal along a bit and drop down between vent and flue... job done and no aggro off the customer.
Agree with some earlier comments - not the prettiest / well thought out

Good point @Combicert but there's a huge difference between asked and being told to do something... Granted that the OP may have been asking on here to see if it complied before "asking" but that tactic and the comment about thinking of the resale of the property smacks of someone looking for a lever and a fulcrum rather than a polite request.

I thought a gas pipe run had to be 20mm these days. When we had our boiler replaced a few years ago the installers said that the supply pipe from the meter to the boiler had to be changed because the original was 15mm and it had to be 22mm. If that is a reducer then it would be reducing from 22mm to 15mm and, from what the installers told me, 15mm cannot be used as a gas supply pipe. I am no gas installer nor do I know what the regs are. I'm just repeating what the installers told me at the time.
Gas is compressible.
