It comes after it was revealed Jeremy will be challenging his local council's decision to refuse plans for him to build a restaurant on his farm.
Clarkson submitted two appeals against the West Oxfordshire District Council decision and will face a key meeting in March to decide the fate of Diddly Squat Farm.
As shown in his hit Amazon Prime show, the council initially refused plans to extend the shop car park and ordered Jeremy, 62, to cease trading in his restaurant.
Clarkson's farm is located in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty meaning it is subject to tighter planning restrictions.
Officials claim the business "continued to operate outside the planning permissions granted" and that "advice has been ignored".
