Although it would be awful to loose your home if you lived in that area, a look at the map will show it is a very lightly populated area and it makes perfect sense to expand in that area. |

They should really bulldoze terminal 4 and build a new whopping terminal near the new runway. The space vacated by T4 could the be used for freight and hangers. The way it is now transport links to T4 are crap. It is off the motorway, Heathrow express doesn't go there anymore and half the underground trains to the airport miss T4. What they could do is create a new loop on both the express and underground from T5 through this new terminal then back to their orignal lines.

Thank you for all the additional information. Very interesting. Will the runways be 27 L, R & C or 26/28?
Imagine trying to build a third north-south runway at Sydney through Kyeemagh/Brighton-Le-Sands or a second east-west runway through the radar field and Botany. |

Just as a follow up. The recently formed Conservatory/LibDem government has scrapped Heathrow expansion plans and also ruled out expansion at Stansted and Gatwick.

And so the next major expansion in airport capacity for the southern UK will be in France...
