Jeremy Clarkson's Oxfordshire pub, The Farmer's Pub, has received approval for a new extension after a series of challenges, including complaints about food quality and toilet conditions. Despite initial struggles, local planners have approved the application, allowing for improvements to the pub's facilities.
Jeremy Clarkson 's pub has been granted permission for a new extension. The 64-year-old presenter opened his Oxfordshire country pub in August and has faced several challenges since then, including complaints about queue times and food quality. However, the former Top Gear host has finally received some good news as West Oxfordshire District Council has approved an application for a single-storey extension at the pub, located in the Cotswolds town of Burford.
Clarkson had aimed to improve the pub's toilets and cellar and local planners have given him the thumbs up. \The planning officers' report stated: 'The proposal is considered to be compliant with the policies identified above in terms of principle, design and in officers' view conserves the special characteristics of the Cotswolds National Landscape (CNL). Accordingly the application is recommended for conditional approval.' The covering letter of the application stated: 'This application seeks to provide a modest extension to the south of the building, the new internal floor area is less than 25 square metres. 'It allows internal reconfiguration to improve toilet facilities for all and more efficient cellar facilities. The extension ensures suitable rear access to the kitchens is retained and an external store is also shown to replace existing temporary facilities. 'It is to be constructed with a horizontal external timber cladding and provides a new pitched roof in reconstituted Cotswold slates to replace the existing bitumen flat roof.' \Since The Farmer's Pub opened, several planning applications have been submitted, but no objections were raised against these plans, reports the Express. This follows Jeremy's candid revelation about the challenges he faced at The Farmer's Dog in the lead up to the holiday season, confessing: 'Behind the scenes, then, everything is a total disaster.' The Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? host detailed the issues he faced in his column for The Times, admitting that he had been 'naive' when he bought the pub. Jeremy recounted an incident which highlighted the 'horror' scenes in the pub toilets, after one of his staff members called him and 'made retching noises down the phone' for several minutes. He stated: 'No amount of festival visits would prepare you for the horror of what had been produced at the Farmer's Dog. It was everywhere and in such vast quantities that no ordinary plumbing or cleaning equipment would even scratch the surface. 'So a whole team of chemically trained hazmat engineers had to be employed. That's a cost I'd never factored into any of my business plans.
