I'm thinking 2 birds one stone here.....
I've been told I need better underfloor ventilation (there's no
ventilation at the back of the house, just the front).
We are doing some refurbishments so it's as good a time as any to rip
the floor up and put a couple of snorkel vents in the back wall.
And i'm blocking up a fireplace and apparently supposed to vent the
chimney. As it goes against the grain to send hard earned warm air up
the chimney I thought of venting the space under the floor into the
unused chimney instead.
It seems like a no brainer to me.
Just do it in a way that is practical to undo. A flat we blocked the chimney in became stuffy & damp, reopening the chimney solved it.

It's not just kooncil punters that block up ventilation then cry damp! .....
