Fit Electric oven next to gas pipe...is that safe?

[diyhasbeen2]

Hi there...

I have a gas hob and then a space in my kitchen unit for an oven which is directly under the hob as is normal...

However, a gas pipe runs against the wall within this cavity - feeding the gas hob. Is it safe to fit an electric oven within this cavity, so close to a gas pipe...or is this normal procedure....or should I get special insulating material for the gas pipe,,,,?

Many thanks in advance.

I have included a picture of the cavity here...
