On Twitter, Oxfordshire County Councillor Liam Walker called WODC’s decision a ‘missed opportunity’ for the county and local farming, adding that in his view ‘it’s all very personal’. Similarly, Welsh farmer Gareth Wyn Jones said it’s a ‘pity the council aren’t supporting @JeremyClarkson […] supporting rural business backing British agriculture’.
Viewers were also quick to point out that there is a caravan park sited close to the farm, calling into question the validity of concerns about preserving dark skies and the natural beauty of the area.
Having watched the former Top Gear presenter butt heads with the local council time and time again in the first series of Clarkson's Farm, viewers are now calling for a formal investigation into the WODC's 'cartel-like' behaviour.
"I think there genuinely needs to be an investigation into the practices of the West Oxfordshire District Council Planning cartel," tweeted one furious viewer. "Shameful, disgusting and just downright wrong behaviour."
Another complained that the way British farmers are being 'mistreated' was 'incredibly appalling' to see.
