About Brooklands

Brooklands, located near Weybridge in Surrey, was established in 1907 as the world's first purpose-built banked motor racing circuit and one of Britain's earliest airfields.

This rich history makes Brooklands an area of interest for those researching planning applications related to heritage, aviation, and automotive industries.
