Short answer
Chipping Norton is a high, exposed hill town, and most of its homes use mains gas. Charlbury and nearby villages rely more on oil. Both are inside the Cotswolds National Landscape, so a flue or a heat pump on a road-facing wall needs care. Free advice comes from Better Housing Better Health.

What heats homes in Chipping Norton?
Mains gas heats most homes. In the 2021 Census, 2,555 of the 3,249 households in Chipping Norton ward used mains gas alone. That is 78.6 per cent.
Oil was rare in the town, at 1.5 per cent. In Charlbury and Finstock ward, it was 4.2 per cent, and 24 households used renewable heating alone.
West Oxfordshire as a whole relies on oil more. DESNZ estimates that 13,195 homes in the district had no gas connection in 2024, or 24.6 per cent.
Does a high town change how a heat pump is sized?
It can. The MCS heat load calculator uses the height of your home to estimate air leakage in high or exposed buildings. It takes the outdoor design temperature from the nearest weather station.
Chipping Norton has a mix of old and new homes. In the Chipping Norton area, 20.2 per cent of homes on the Council Tax list date from before 1900. Another 29.2 per cent were built in 2000 or later.
An old stone house on an exposed street needs a careful survey. A new house on the edge of town is usually simpler.
What do the conservation areas mean for heating work?
The centre of Chipping Norton has been a conservation area since 1970, and Charlbury since 1974. Both towns are also inside the Cotswolds National Landscape.
In these areas, a heat pump must not sit on a wall or roof that faces a road. It also must not stand nearer the road than the house.
A listed house needs permission for any heat pump. Ask West Oxfordshire District Council before you agree a position for the unit.
What about Charlbury and the Evenlode valley?
Charlbury is in the Evenlode valley, and some homes there are near the river. An oil tank within 10 metres of a river or stream needs a bund or a bunded tank.
In Chipping Norton ward, 278 households used electric heating only in 2021. That is 8.6 per cent, about the England share.
In Charlbury and Finstock ward, 20 more households combined renewable heating with another type.
