Short answer
Witney is the largest town on this site, and most of its homes are modern, with concrete tiles. The old centre has stone slate, Welsh slate and clay tiles. Planning is a matter for West Oxfordshire District Council. Parts of the town near the River Windrush have flood risk, so check gutters and drains as well as the roof.

Roof types in Witney
Witney has a wide mix of roofs, because the town grew in several stages. Around Market Square, the Buttercross and Church Green, the older houses are limestone with stone slate. Some have plain clay tiles or later Welsh slate.
The town grew with the blanket trade, and some old mill buildings are now homes. Large estates such as Madley Park and Deer Park have modern concrete tile roofs. On these, common jobs are loose ridge tiles, worn felt under the tiles and flat roofs on extensions.
The Witney and Cogges conservation area
The centre of Witney and the old village of Cogges form one conservation area. West Oxfordshire District Council designated it in 1968. The council publishes a map and a character appraisal for it.
In a conservation area, the council expects new work to keep or improve its character. For a roof, this means care with material, colour and details such as dormers and roof lights. If your house is listed, you need listed building consent for changes that affect its character.
To check a listing, use the Historic England Search the List tool. Search for your street and Witney, then read the list entry for your address.
Flood risk near the Windrush
Parts of Witney near the River Windrush flooded badly in July 2007. You can check the long term flood risk for your address on GOV.UK.
On low ground, gutters and downpipes do a lot of work. Ask the roofer to check that each downpipe runs into a clear drain. Water that spills against a wall can look like a roof leak inside the house.
Access and villages around Witney
Many houses in the centre front the pavement, and parking near Market Square is tight. A scaffold on the pavement or road needs a licence from Oxfordshire County Council, which is the highway authority.
Firms that work in Witney often cover Ducklington, Hailey, Minster Lovell, Curbridge and North Leigh too. Ducklington, Hailey and Minster Lovell have their own conservation areas, so check the council map for those villages as well.
Questions
Who handles planning for roof work in Witney?
West Oxfordshire District Council. It also looks after the Witney and Cogges conservation area and gives advice on listed buildings.
Is my Witney house at risk of flooding?
Check your postcode on the GOV.UK long term flood risk service. It shows the risk from rivers, surface water and other sources.
Do new-build roofs in Witney need a specialist roofer?
Usually not. Concrete tile roofs on estates are standard work for most general roofers. Stone slate roofs in the old centre need a firm with stone slate experience.
