Jfk local controller and the three pilots aboard a B757 reported a windshear escape maneuver at 500 feet during approach to runway 4R; causing a conflict with another B757 departing runway 4L. The go-around crew did not respond initially to heading instructions exacerbating the situation and likely entering lga airspace.

Narrative:
I was working local 2 runway 04L. I cleared a B752 aircraft X for departure when I noticed another B752 aircraft Y; going around runway 04R. Aircraft Y was about 1.5 miles from the airport at about 500 feet. Local 1 instructed aircraft Y to turn right heading 130. When aircraft X lifted; I instructed aircraft X to fly runway heading. I pointed out aircraft X with lga tower. Lga advised me that they would stop their departures. When aircraft X was about half a mile off the departure end of runway 04L; I noticed aircraft Y on a left turn; right above runway 04L at 2000 feet. I kept aircraft X on runway heading stopped their climb to 1500. Local 1 again instructed aircraft Y to turn right 130. When aircraft X was about 2.5 miles off the departure end of runway 04L; aircraft Y was turning right to 130 degrees. Then I instructed aircraft X to turn right 100. Aircraft Y advised tower that they were going around due to windshear. The safety issue was that turning left made the missed approach a factor with the departure. They had about 500 feet separation when aircraft Y reappeared on the scope. On the 4's; we do not own the belmont airspace which starts about two miles north east off the departure end of runway 04L. We have to turn our departures right 100 or do a point out with lga tower in order to go runway heading.recommendation: be able to use the belmont airspace when we're departing runway 04L and landing runway 04R and 04L. Also if a pilot needs to execute a windshear escape they should advise the controller. We do understand that they must comply with the aircrafts command; but using; 'going around due to windshear' isn't clear enough for us to assume that they're executing a windshear escape. They must use the words windshear escape.

Title: JFK Local Controller and the three pilots aboard a B757 reported a windshear escape maneuver at 500 feet during approach to Runway 4R; causing a conflict with another B757 departing Runway 4L. The go-around crew did not respond initially to heading instructions exacerbating the situation and likely entering LGA airspace.
Narrative: I was working Local 2 Runway 04L. I cleared a B752 Aircraft X for departure when I noticed another B752 Aircraft Y; going around Runway 04R. Aircraft Y was about 1.5 miles from the airport at about 500 feet. Local 1 instructed Aircraft Y to turn right heading 130. When Aircraft X lifted; I instructed Aircraft X to fly runway heading. I pointed out Aircraft X with LGA tower. LGA advised me that they would stop their departures. When Aircraft X was about half a mile off the departure end of Runway 04L; I noticed Aircraft Y on a left turn; right above Runway 04L at 2000 feet. I kept Aircraft X on runway heading stopped their climb to 1500. Local 1 again instructed Aircraft Y to turn right 130.

Aircraft Y advised tower that they were going around due to windshear. The safety issue was that turning left made the missed approach a factor with the departure. They had about 500 feet separation when Aircraft Y reappeared on the scope. On the 4's; we do not own the Belmont airspace which starts about two miles north east off the departure end of Runway 04L. We have to turn our departures right 100 or do a point out with LGA Tower in order to go runway heading.Recommendation: be able to use the Belmont airspace when we're departing Runway 04L and landing Runway 04R and 04L. Also if a pilot needs to execute a windshear escape they should advise the controller. We do understand that they must comply with the aircrafts command; but using; 'going around due to windshear' isn't clear enough for us to assume that they're executing a windshear escape.
