Devil

Are you seriously saying that we should delay passenger flights just so that you can transit the zone?
I'm not saying anything, I'm just trying to understand the mindset of ATC by asking questions. So I'll keep the devil icon for now...

I won't bother quoting my MATS pt 2 but at the front it details priority of flights.
I can't find any reference to priorities for normal flights in MATS Pt 1 (mentioned by flower). I don't have a Pt 2 to hand (or to mouse), but I'm quite happy to believe that the details are there. You could help me by quoting chapter and verse please, if it's the LATCC Pt 2 you're refering to.

If you feel you don't access to any Class D and THAT IS UNFAIR you should take it the units management and/or DAP.
I've made my own views on the practical side of access to Class D clear in a number of threads, and if my experience is typical then I think ATC has little to fear from GASCo's survey.

What is important to me is the basis for the prioritisation that is applied as it goes to the heart of the regulator-provider relationship that has been in place since the NATS privatisation, as well as the mandates of ATS providers elsewhere.
