In February, we reported that the 2006 season of Top Gear was in jeopardy due to concerns over the site where much of the show’s testing is filmed. However, filming went ahead and three episodes aired (see the latest one here). Now, several U.K. publications are reporting that the BBC motoring show has been served with a noise abatement programme that threatens to stop further filming. The show is currently being filmed without planning permission for all the noise it causes, according to MSN UK. The show is s “in breach of planning conditions and at risk of an enforcement order”, a local authority spokesman told the Telegraph. [Thanks to JohnnyBlazE for the tip!]
