It was Notamed out of use long term after 2002, for some years, 6-12 months at a time but all the closure periods joined together. Not sure if it theoretically could be just reinstated or if it has gone for good.

This all not too long after it was resurfaced.

BAA plc, wanting more parking stands about 2000, built several at the south end of T4 that impinged on the overrun, saying they would withdraw any aircraft parked there if conditions required it, giving the impression they would do so when strong southerly winds were forecast. This soon translated to saying the parked aircraft would be withdrawn only on request from an inbound aircraft, but it would take three hours to do so, which of course nobody could accept. Haha. Of course the CAA, who in any sane democracy would exist to stop such nonsenses, have all had too many fine entertainments at BAA expense to say anything.
