LHR taxiway extentions
@Gonzo
I was under the impression the western taxiway extensions for 09L & 09R were rebuilt to a higher specification during the construction of T5; I shall check the old photos.

I think your use of piano keys rather than zebra crossing markings is pure pretentiousness on your part; anyway all the markings are the same length!
The object of planning applications is to allow people to object; something the Nazi Party did not agree with! The recent 09R RETs application, even under permitted development rights, did not receive any objections and was approved by the LHR planning authority (Hillingdon BC).
However the Cranford abolition works, with far more planes taking off from 09L, may well impact on local residents particularly in the Longford and Cranford areas; this is the reason for the enviromental impact assessment requirement and almost certainly additional noise barriers.
My use of the words 400m eastern taxiway extensions to 27R and 27L was to remove any suggestion that Heathrow were planning extensions to the main runways. Perhaps you and Gonzo could clear up what precisely is being proposed?
