It, according to your quoted report would have been 30ft lower and horizontal, (quite a good thing for a runway).
Well, nearly.
The runway would be almost completely horizontal, with a small decrease in height at each end.
Still, if it's good enough for LBA ...

But before I make my eye test appointment, perhaps you could humour me and point out the page in the report that explains how the NNE/SSW runways are going to be built. Would they be on stilts, or in a cutting?
