Many thanks for your quick reply. Looking at the passageway I think it is highly likely that there was a door at one time so I will just be putting it back. Ventilation isn't a problem, draughts, now that's a different case !
Thanks again.

For those that really are bothered, possible areas of concern might be
Part B (fire protection and means of escape - the addition of a door
generally improving things rather than v.v.), Part F (ventilation -
though older houses usually have more than adequate ventilation) and
Part J (combustion appliances - and adequate ventilation to those I
would take seriously).
