The powers that be tried moving the route westwards to minimise noise in the Oxshott area.
They failed to take account of what happened in the uncontrolled airspace in the Woking area (in fact when we asked them, they said it was of no interest to them, they only laid down the route inside controlled airspace) and after several airmisses with Farnborough fast jets (Buccaneer, Hunter etc) positioning for the PAR they had to re-think.
