Thanks for the link.
A lot of errors in this report though, e.g. 27 million passengers in 2024, BA is a major airline at the airport and the following:

Terminal 1: Main hub for international flights, handling long-haul and full-service carriers.

• Terminal 2: Mixed domestic and international traffic, undergoing major expansion.

Runways:

• Main runway (3,200m): Handles Boeing 747s, Airbus A380s, and other large aircraft.

• Secondary runway (3,050m): Used for short-haul and peak-hour overflow.

I was of the understanding the runways were both 3048m when did one have an extension?

 

[KARFA]

they are 3048m (23R/05L) and 3050m (23L/05R).

however, you can start a takeoff roll from before the threshold on 23L, so the maximum takeoff distance for 23L from entering at tango is 3200m.

but yes either is fine for aircraft of all sizes.
