New house gas box location

[NotebookNewport]

Hi
I had my new build house professionally snagged.
Among the pickups was the height / location of the gas box on the outside of the house.
I have read the 500mm guide.
However, its about 20cm from the drive tarmac.

Taylor Wimpey saying it's fine according to the site service provider company.
Thought please

If the supplier has fitted a meter, then presumably the box location is fine?

Might not have been the supplier on a new build?

I am in the house, and they have just supplied an email saying it is ok, from GTC
- GTC is part of the BUUK Infrastructure Group, the leading provider of multi-utility networks in the UK, employing more than 2000 people and operating networks serving more than two million homes.

A photo would help but the utilities supplier, their agent or authorised installer would not have gone ahead if they were in doubt.

A photo would help as their are different types of boxes.

Ordinarily you'd fit them at a convenient reading height unless constrained. I see no issues with it being closer to the ground though.
