Stansted/Luton

I'm sorry if this has already been covered but I'm only an occasional visitor to this section of Pprune.

The government has outlined plans for airports that include options for one, two or three runways at Stansted.
They also talk about extending Luton's runway or even realigning it to run NNE-SSW.
In ATC terms with current technology and ignoring all the politics, environmental and other factors, is it possible to operate both airports in any combination of the options? I always thought that if STN was developed, LTN would have to close.
