does anybody know the required clearances for built in gas meter box and service pipe from an air vent/ openable window. i have seen 150 mm in a photo, but haven't got access to British standards to check

cheers Shaun, that's the only diagram i can find online. im thinking it might be from bs6400 but its going to cost me £100 to find out. House builder wants to see the regulation
I can't see why there would be a reg re position of the meter / box other than to the side of a window / door where the normal 150mm to prevent undermining of the Lintel support brick / block / woodwork.
And the other way in that a hole for a flue or vent will be undermining / effectively weakening the brickwork opening for the Box.
The 150mm is Building regs, that's for the builder and he should already know.
The height is for the convenience of meter readers.
What's the issue exactly, has the builder put the box in a position that you disagree with?
