The future of Top Gear continues to hang in the balance after Freddie Flintoff's horrific smash at the end of last year.
Construction vehicles have been photographed near the BBC show's iconic race track at Dunsfold Park Aerodrome, amid reports the site near track is being demolished.
But, the vehicles have been photographed on Dunsfold Park Aerodrome are the other end of the airfield from Top Gear's race track, a source has told the Mirror.
It has been claimed BBC bosses have "accepted" the 600-acre site near Cranleigh will be dismantled with a housing estate created in its place.
There have been plans to transform the site into a 2,600 home village with a school and other community facilities since 2005.
A source has claimed: "Dunsfold is synonymous with Top Gear, it’s a huge part of the show.
"But allowing the site to be sold off is a damning statement for the series’ future. There’s been mounting pressure for some years for the aerodrome site to be regenerated, but attempts have been resisted.
"But after Freddie’s crash there’s a feeling that perhaps it’s time to put the show to bed and avoid any more potentially devastating crashes. It’s a real blow for fans," they added to The Sun.
However, an insider told the Mirror that the Top Production have been told the track "track remains fully intact and operational – and will likely remain as such for a good few years yet".
It comes after Freddie Flintoff was involved in a horrific car accident at the Dunsfold Park Aerodrome and was later airlifted to hospital.
Freddie is still recovering from the crash and is yet to have commented on the accident.
Following the crash, the BBC released a statement to reveal they were doing a review of the show.
A spokesperson said: "Under the circumstances, we feel it would be inappropriate to resume making series 34.
"We understand this will be disappointing for fans, but it is the right thing to do, and we’ll make a judgment about how best to continue later this year.
"This has also impacted the production team, who we continue to support. Finally there will be a health and safety review of the show, in line with our procedures."
Since the terrifying accident, the BBC have paused production of Top Gear and won't resume filming until Freddie, 45, has recovered.
Speaking at a Broadcasting Press Guild event in April, chief content officer Charlotte Moore was asked if the BBC is committed to Top Gear returning.
She said: "My priority at the moment is supporting Freddie through his recovery so I think it would be really inappropriate for us to resume filming now.
"I think when we get to the point where he feels ready … and we’ll get to thinking about getting him back."
The executive continued: "I think we’ve got to talk about what Freddie wants to do. When someone’s in recovery, I don’t think we would push that … I think that would be really inappropriate, I wouldn’t be happy.
"I think you’ve got to be really human about this and do the right thing."
