OUr gas meter is at high level in the pantry of our bungalow. There

Google isn't clear. What and where are the regs applying to it and
more simply can I put a piece of card in front of the airbrick?

All closed spaces where there are gas pipe have to be ventilated.

Completely false.

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1...lation/19/made

Paragraph 6

This is to dissipate accumulations of gas if there should be a leak.

Where any installation pipework is not itself contained in a ventilated
duct, no person shall install any installation pipework in any shaft,
duct or void which is not adequately ventilated.

A pantry, like a kitchen, living room or cupboard under the stairs,
isn't a shaft, duct or void.

It's a void ****-fer-brains.
Why do you think the air brick is there in the first place?

Because it's a pantry, idiot.
