Soaringhigh, you do realise you should be aiming at the CAA rather than NATS, don't you?
Your issue appears to be with the airspace and restrictions placed upon aircraft/crew because of its classification. ATC merely carry out the procedures according to CAP493 and CAP393.
It's almost as if there should be a department somewhere in some official authority in the civil aviation industry that sets, and monitors the implementation of, policy regarding airspace. Perhaps it might even direct airspace policy.
Oh, hang on.........
