Jeremy Clarkson finally opened a new car park at his Diddly Squat Farm this weekend, but it soon became jam-packed with two hour waits.

The Clarkson’s Farm presenter battled with West Oxfordshire District Council for months over the proposed new parking area intended to cope with the crowds flocking to visit his popular shop

The plans were approved in June in a rare planning win for the star.

But, on Saturday (August 18), the newly created additional 70 parking spaces proved insufficient to cope with the number of fans and shoppers arriving.

Staff were forced to open another field just a five-minute walk away where a further 100 cars could park on grass, the Mail Online reported.

Mr Clarkson, who oversaw the construction of the new facility, was not present for the grand opening of the car park - he is on holiday with partner Lisa Hogan

Previously the council had refused to grant permission for the car park as they claimed it was in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

However, without additional parking, customers were forced to park on nearby verges, causing traffic chaos and delays.

Mr Clarkson appealed the council’s decision and was granted permission on June 14. However, the rejection of his plans for a restaurant was upheld.

Clarkson’s Farm on Amazon Prime is currently shooting its third series.
