That story is a little behind the times. They have already been denied permission to move to Enstone. They are now focusing on other places to move the show. Here's the article straight from Top Gear as of today:
Top Gear strikes back:
Don't panic! Regardless of what you may have read in the newspapers, Top Gear TV will still be the best bit of your Sunday.
Doomsayers have been predicting the downfall of everyone's favourite hour-long car-fest after reports that the show has lost the use of the airfield where it's filmed.
There were plans to move filming to a circuit at Enstone, Oxfordshire - which is suspiciously close to where Clarkson lives - but these have been kyboshed by the local council.
The council accepted residents' objections based on worries about pollution, which means the programme remains at its Surrey lair.
Andy Wilman, executive producer of TG TV, said: "Ideally, we wanted to go to Enstone, but if not, we'll just find another location. There's no great urgency, but it would help us give the show a facelift."
Rest assured, Clarkson, Hammond and May will be bickering later this year as usual.
