The proposal talks about shifting Twy J a maximum of 27 metres further north.

The current nominal width of J is 25 m (though the actual pavement is wider, beyond the yellow edge marking on the southern edge). So imagine another 25 m wide taxiway to the north with just a 2 m gap in between the two. Yes, the pond where the River Mole turns to go under the airfield would need to be narrowed, but I don't think the fire training area would be affected.

The relocated taxiway may impinge on some or all of the 140-145 stands - it depends whether the required runway-to-taxiway separation applies only to the TORA or to the TODA (i.e. including the 08L clearway). I don't know the answer to that without looking it up in Annex 14.
Juilet already has a kink before it get to J4 abeam J7 so either way the noise berm will have to go.
