At that time, the scheme that had previously been proposed for the
second runway had a separation from the existing runway of nowhere
near 1.0 km, so it is obvious that there has been at least one
significant change.

The previous proposal kept to a minimum the amount of demolition that
would be needed. I think it was limited to part or all of one
industrial estate. I would imagine that a 1.0 km separation would
involve much more demolition as the new runway would be significantly
closer to Crawley. The noise nuisance would also be worse.

Maybe someone is waiting for a proposal involving demolishing all of
Crawley...
