Gas pipe in Cavity

[The Flute]

So wanting to do some building work at home and wondered if it was acceptable to build the gas pipe into the cavity of a wall. This is the pipe in question.
Thanks for any help you can give

Absolutely NOT.
That's Nat Grids supply pipe with shut off.

Arm and a leg to move.

Minimum £433 maximum £1327 for up to 5mtrs move, price depends on location in country.

Minus 12.5% if you arrange your own internal reconnection.

How do they shut it off from that, is there a valve in the top bit then?

Job I did last week cost home owner £720 with no internal reconnection

Well it is my problem if I build it into the wall! I am just redoing the plans and wondered if I could go wider. but guess if its a shut off its a big NO NO. May get a inspection done anyway. Thanks for all the replies. i appreciate people taking the time out to reply
