vent question

    Hi,
    So I’ve been feeling a cold draught in the sitting room and went investigating. We only moved in a few months ago. 1991 built semi detached. Awful cold draught coming from the below image which appears to be an open
    Vent of some sort.

    Is there anything that can be done to remove this or is it a necessity for some reason? There’s a room behind it so the draught must be coming up from the ground below. There’s a wooden (suspended I assume) floor below it as can be seen in second photo .forgot to mention the fire is a gas fire, which isn’t used. Thanks for any feedback

    Might need someone in to investigate why it’s there in the first place. Maybe a Building Surveyor.
    It may be permanent ventilation or it may be an air supply to the fire of some sort. Could be ventilation to the suspended timber floor also.
