The CAA has already stated there is no requirement for an APP unit to attempt to provide separation from transit traffic which is not working them.
Agreed - but then there is no big advantage in an aircraft with a good IFR certified GPS receiving vectors from the Radar unit in the first place. Just fly the whole procedure under a traffic service while ATC take no responsibility for separation, as per the status quo. Then call on the local frequency before entering the ATZ and hope any local traffic is on frequency and looking out for the aircraft about to pop out of cloud
