Short answer
Winchcombe has a high share of mains gas, so boilers are the main heating job. The town has many old stone houses, a conservation area and an Article 4 direction. Tewkesbury Borough Council handles planning. Near the River Isbourne, building rules add conditions for oil tanks.

How many Winchcombe homes use gas?
In the 2021 Census, 79.3 per cent of households in Winchcombe ward used mains gas alone. That is higher than the England figure of 74.0 per cent.
Some 101 households used oil alone and 24 used tank or bottled gas. Most of these are in the hamlets and farms around the town.
Tewkesbury Borough has the lowest off-gas share of the four councils on this site. DESNZ estimates that 11.5 per cent of its homes had no gas connection in 2024.
Are Winchcombe homes older than the rest of the borough?
Yes, by a wide margin. In the Winchcombe and Washbourne area, 28.7 per cent of homes on the Council Tax list date from before 1919. Across Tewkesbury Borough, the figure is 10.4 per cent.
Older stone homes lose more heat through their walls and floors. A heat pump can still work well, but the survey must cover each room.
Winchcombe is inside the Cotswolds National Landscape. This limits a new flue on a wall or roof slope that faces a road.
What does the Winchcombe Article 4 direction mean?
Tewkesbury Borough Council made the Winchcombe Article 4 direction in 1987. It removes some permitted development rights for houses in the conservation area.
Read the direction, or ask the council, before you add a tank, a heat pump or a new flue. Its wording uses old planning classes, so ask the council what it covers today.
The River Isbourne runs through the town. An oil tank within 10 metres of a river or stream needs a bund that holds 110 per cent of the tank. Check your flood risk on GOV.UK too.
Is electric heating common in Winchcombe?
No. Only 123 households in Winchcombe ward used electric heating alone in 2021. That is 4.0 per cent, less than half the England share of 8.7 per cent.
Across Tewkesbury Borough, 4.8 per cent of households used oil alone. Winchcombe ward was lower, at 3.3 per cent.
