Inset thresholds/aiming points

A couple of years ago it was proposed that the 27L/27R thresholds and aiming points be inset by around 500M to raise the approach slightly and reduce noise impact. 27R in particular has excess landing distance available over requirement for all types.

Perhaps the time has arrived to review this idea from a safety case point of view rather than an environmental one?
