Clarkson's Farm Shop Seeks Car Park Extension

On April 24th, Jeremy Clarkson is back at it with his Cotswold farm shop at Didley Squad,

pushing to extend the temporary car park for another four, years until the end of 2030.

The original permission came through on appeal back in June 2023 to handle the massive crowds

from his hit show, Clarkson's farm. But that deadline hits this June, and with Series 6 already

greenlit for summer 2027, his team says they need more time. The planning inspectorate

okayed the parking spots before to fix serious traffic jams on local roads, though they shot

down a permanent restaurant. Now Clarkson's crew filed with West Oxfordshire, District Council

to tweak those time limits, arguing the show's ongoing run changes everything since. The first

approval, fans have turned the place into a hotspot, with lines stretching two hours even after

the new lot open last August, forcing staff to use an extra. Grassyfield for another hundred cars.

It keeps highway parking down, boost the farm shop, cafe, and local suppliers, plus the landscaping

is blending in nicely. His representatives call it unique circumstances tied to the TV buzz,

perfect for more monitoring without going permanent. They point out the three-year cap was set

assuming fewer seasons, but with five airing soon and six locked in, extending makes sense for

the economic. Perks. Word is, the council will decide later, while season five drops now on

prime video, with episodes rolling out through June 17th, keep an eye on. Have this farm empire

battle, shakes out as the show's farm drama keeps pulling crowds.
