Jeremy C Larkson has been ordered to close his farm's cafe and restaurant after a council claimed his business breached planning laws.

Mr. Clarkson appealed an enforcement notice for Diddly Squat Farm after West Oxfordshire District Council (WODC) took action in August.

A restaurant opened in July, months after two applications were rejected.

The farm, in Chadlington, is featured in the Amazon Prime Video documentary series, Clarkson's Farm.

WODC ordered the farm to undertake a catalog of measures within six weeks of serving the notice on August 12.

They include the removal of all portable toilets, all tables that would be used by diners and "landscape materials".

He said there was "unlawful" use of the farm and said its "nature, scale [and] location are unsustainable and incompatible with its countryside location in the Cotswolds Area of ​​Outstanding Natural Beauty".

The council said the farm must also stop selling products other than those made on the farm, those made within 16 miles (25, 7 km) from it, or others that the council has authorized.
