Domestic UK arrivals at T5 do not require re-clearing security to access T5 airside. Onward boarding pass is needed though.



You're not wrong.

The problem comes when you are changing to another terminal. Unfortunately there is no separate airside bus for domestic arrivals, so when you get the airside buses you are mixing with all those who have arrived on international flights. So when you get to T3 in your case unfortunately you will have to go through security at the connections centre along with all those who have arrived on international flights.
