My post 1901 explains where we go following the NOTAM.
Unless the new blast fence/wall north of the runway is of such height that it penetrates the RWY 02 Type A TOCS surface, which I sincerely doubt that it does, nothing has changed with obstacles. Albeit those south of the runway are farther away from the start of take-off point.
Thank you for a clear explanation of the declared distances,I would presume that all operators would want to update there charts asap!
