The planning application has been declared 'valid', and now the local district council want an environmental impact assessment to judge how the track, pits and paddock developments will affect air quality and noise levels in the area.
John Bridges, a cabinet member of North West Leicestershire District Council, told the Press Association: "The prospect of Formula One at Donington Park is something really exciting for the district as a whole. We will though be making sure that the environmental impact of proposed development at the site is properly considered.
"Ever since the announcement of Donington Park as hosts for the British Grand Prix from 2010 we have been working closely with the track owners and their planning consultants to make sure we receive the information needed for the planning application as early as possible.
"I am confident that if we continue working together we will still be able to make a planning decision on the proposals by the end of the year."
