The Noise Preferential Route 4 passes very close to the Surrey Hills AONB which at a height of 750 feet is much closer to the aircraft than surrounding areas. The persistent noise and pollution from aircraft has a disastrous effect on the peace and tranquillity of the area which attracts many thousands of tourists each year. The proposed increase in the numbers of flights and also night-time flying will only prove to make this situation much worse causing permanent harm to the flora and fauna of this protected area.
