3,750 homes would need to be demolished to make way for a 3rd runway.

3750 homes would need to be demolished or rendered unliveable homes due to the noise of planes landing and departing a new third runway.  The early medieval village of Harmondsworth would be decimated and Longford wiped off the map. Harmondsworth is home to the 11th century church of St. Mary the Virgin and the Great Barn, one of the best timber-framed medieval buildings in the country. It has an unspoilt village green, two historic pubs and is also home to a vibrant community. Residents here have formed a lively campaign group, Stop Heathrow Expansion, which covers all the Heathrow villages. Individual villagers are in close contact with direct action activists as, if necessary, they intend a campaign of civil disobedience to defend their homes. The Government, therefore, is faced with the prospect of the world’s media capturing on film its attempts to bulldoze an historic village and drag residents from their homes. Has any Government got the stomach for that?
