Short answer
Chipping Campden is an old wool town, and many of the stone houses on its High Street are listed. Most homes use mains gas, but the villages nearby use oil. On a listed house, a heat pump, a new flue or an oil tank needs permission first.
Heating engineers in Chipping Campden by service
How are homes in Chipping Campden heated?
In the 2021 Census, 74.3 per cent of the 2,836 households in Campden and Vale ward used mains gas alone. Oil heated 179 households, or 6.3 per cent.
About 12 per cent of households had two or more types of heating. In old houses, this often means a boiler with a wood or multi-fuel stove.
Firms that work here often cover Broad Campden, Ebrington, Mickleton and Weston-sub-Edge. Many homes in these villages use oil.
What does a listed house mean for heating work?
The Market Hall, built in 1627, is listed at Grade I. Many houses on the High Street are listed too. Search the Historic England list for your address.
For a listed house, permitted development does not cover an air source heat pump. An oil tank in the grounds also needs planning permission.
Listed building consent covers inside work that affects the character of the building. New pipe runs or a flue through old walls can need it. Ask Cotswold District Council before you agree the work.
How old is the housing around Campden?
One statistical area covers Willersey, Chipping Campden and Blockley. There, 27.5 per cent of homes on the Council Tax list date from before 1919.
Cotswold District Council says these traditional buildings use stone and lime and need to breathe. A heating system that keeps a steady, gentle heat suits them well.
Chipping Campden is inside the Cotswolds National Landscape. A flue on a road-facing front or side wall there needs planning permission.
What other heating do Campden homes use?
Some use electric or solid fuel. In Campden and Vale ward, 128 households (4.5 per cent) used electric heating only in 2021. That is about half the England share.
Twelve households used wood alone, six used solid fuel alone, and 13 used renewable heating alone.
Not all homes here are old. In the same statistical area, 22.3 per cent of homes on the Council Tax list date from 2000 or later.
A newer house usually needs less work before a heat pump. Ask for a heat loss survey either way.
Questions
Can a listed house in Chipping Campden get the heat pump grant?
Yes, if it meets the GOV.UK rules. The grant does not depend on listing. You still need the right consents before the installer fits the unit.
Where do I get free advice on heating an old house?
Warm and Well gives free energy advice to Cotswold District residents on 0800 500 3076. The council also has retrofit guidance for historic buildings.
Should I keep my old chimney?
Cotswold District Council says disused chimneys should still be repaired and kept. A cowl or a chimney balloon can cut draughts.
