It's the intake for the cabin fan heater. Might give you issues with the cabin fan if welded up...

Take the vent off completely and just put some mesh on the underside of the bonnet to stop crap like leaves entering the engine bay.

I wouldn't weld it up unless u got another vent somewhere. If you do you'll get problems with the blower motors burning out, and the lack of ventilation will cause the windows to permanently mist up and eventually have a constant damp smell.
