If you habitually overfly Harmondsworth on either arrival or departure, then your thrust setting is the least of your problems.

There is no suggestion that 3.2° RNAV approaches will be mandatory for any arriving flights. The conventional ILS, MLS and 3° PAPIS will continue to be available.
Pilots will, as usual, request their desired type of approach (ILS, Microwave or the trial 3.2° "RNAV Yankee") on first contact with Heathrow Director.
