Short answer
Bourton village is mostly on mains gas, but the villages around it rely heavily on oil. In Northleach ward, fewer than 1 in 15 households use mains gas alone. Oil boiler servicing, tank work and heat pumps are common jobs here. The River Windrush adds rules for oil tanks.

How much do homes around Bourton rely on oil?
A great deal. In Bourton Vale ward, 380 of 1,253 households (30.3 per cent) used oil as their only heating fuel in the 2021 Census. The England share was 3.2 per cent.
Bourton Village ward is different, with 74.5 per cent on mains gas alone. The two wards together had 450 oil-heated households and 73 on tank or bottled gas.
Cotswold District has the highest off-gas share on this site. DESNZ estimates that 17,109 homes there had no gas connection in 2024.
What about Northleach?
Northleach and its villages are almost all off the gas grid. Only 84 of 1,304 households in Northleach ward used mains gas alone.
Oil heated 37.0 per cent of households, and electric heating 23.9 per cent. Tank or bottled gas heated 9.0 per cent, and renewable heating alone 2.9 per cent.
Homes here are old. In the Northleach, Coln Valley and Ampneys area, 44.4 per cent of homes on the Council Tax list date from before 1919.
What rules apply to oil tanks near the Windrush?
The River Windrush runs through the centre of Bourton. Approved Document J treats a tank within 10 metres of a river or stream as a pollution risk.
A tank over 2,500 litres is also a risk. So is a tank within 50 metres of a well, borehole or spring. In these cases it needs a bund or an integrally bunded tank.
Every tank needs a label that says what to do if oil leaks. Ask the engineer to check yours at each service.
Do many homes near Bourton use more than one heating type?
Yes. In Bourton Vale ward, 16.3 per cent of households used two or more types of heating without renewables in 2021. Another 1.5 per cent combined renewables with another type.
One example is an oil boiler with a wood stove. Ask the engineer to check both the flue and the chimney.
Cotswold District Council publishes a conservation area map and statement for Bourton. Read them before you add a flue or a unit in the centre.
Questions
How much grant can an oil-heated home in Bourton get for a heat pump?
Up to £9,000 until March 2027. That is £7,500 from the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, plus £1,500 for homes with oil or LPG and no gas.
Is Bourton in the Cotswolds National Landscape?
Yes. Bourton and Northleach are both inside it. A flue or a heat pump that faces a road needs more care, and often planning permission.
Is there help for low-income households?
Warm and Well runs the Warm Homes Local Grant in Gloucestershire. It can fund heating, insulation and air source heat pumps for eligible homes.
