Indeed, its just the first phase of a huge programme. The difficulty is that 20-30 years is a long time in any industry, let alone aviation. Who knows how many boom and bust cycles the UK economy will have gone through in 30 years. A new ground transport technology (maybe MAGLEV, maybe something else) may have slashed travel times to Europe.
T3 certainly needs improvements today, ridding it of some of the volume and/or increasing the airside areas would help dramatically.
