Confused regarding Heathrow's Brexit Boost announced today...

Includes proposals for up to 25,000 a year on current operational levels, while the third runway is being built
How do they get 25,000 additional ATMs (that's 68 a day or around 4 per operational hour) from the existing runways? And why is the go-ahead for the third runway seemingly being linked to this extra capacity? If the extra movements can be accommodated while the new runway is being built, why should they not be enabled even if the decision goes to Gatwick?
