Kaleb Cooper of Clarkson’s Farm has stated that he is pursuing his own planning clearance for his caravan plot, following Jeremy Clarkson’s spat with the authorities over plans to expand his Diddly Squat farm.
The 63-year-old Top Gear host has been embroiled in a months-long legal battle over plans for his farm, having previously submitted an application to expand the car lot at his on-site business near Chipping Norton in Oxfordshire.
After Jeremy appeared visibly upset by the refusal, the council insisted that he would have been treated ‘no differently,’ issuing a statement that said: ‘We understand that the planning process shown in Season 2 of Clarkson’s Farm can appear obstructive and that people will be confused by the planning decisions at Diddly Squat Farm.’
He has recently been granted permission to expand the business parking lot, but this is just a minor victory because Jeremy has still been denied permission to construct an on-site restaurant.
Kaleb, a father of two who works on the Prime Video programme alongside Jeremy, is claimed to be petitioning the council for permission to dwell on his own four-acre site near the farm.
The Sun reports that Kaleb, 24, has asked Oxfordshire Council for permission to live on the land, saying he needs someone on site to care for his livestock.
The farmer has pigs, hens, and calves that need to be cared for, as well as a caravan that serves as an office.
According to the magazine, Kaleb has requested retroactive planning approval from West Oxfordshire District Council, which, if granted, would last for two years and allow him to launch his firm.
This follows Kaleb’s announcement of his first-ever live theatre tour.
During his often-frustrating mission to teach Jeremy everything he knows about farming, as well as his hilarious comments on life, the cosmos, and everything in between, Kaleb rapidly became a fan favourite.
Since the premiere of the first season in 2021, he’s found himself more in demand outside of his hometown, and he’s chosen to capitalise on it with a 33-day tour.
‘I’m a firm believer, if I want to go out there and learn something, you’ve got to go out then and go full, head down, go for it,’ Kaleb told PA.
‘Yes, it’s a fear, or you know, a nervousness thing, but I think I’m a firm believer of… going towards it and facing your fear with brave shoulders.’
Clarkson’s Farm is available to watch on Prime Video.
