I believe this is due to the magnetic variation. At the EGCC the rate of change is approximately 0.15E. The Easterly variation reduced the actual runway heading to 234. Henceforth this new value is nearer to 23 as apposed to 24 and therefore the runway assignments have changed.

I hope this answers your questions,
