In fact Carlisle have already submitted an Airspace Change Process application for RNAV (GNSS) procedures with LPV option back in December. The system limits for the LPV approaches have recently been reduced from 250 to 200 feet, though of course local features such as obstacles and approach and runway lighting will generate somewhat higher OCHs. In short very similar to ILS Cat 1 without the expense of installation and maintenance of ground based facilities, so no need for ILS.
The application has not yet been determined. On April 6 CAA wrote to CAX requiring a further noise survey. On May 23 CAX wrote to CAA requesting an urgent determination in the form of a temporary airspace arrangement. The reply (from the Deputy Director of Airspace Policy) on May 24 indicated consideration might be given but subject to further supporting evidence. This correspondence is a matter of public record.
