Well, an IFR Visual Approach is not a VFR approach, the difference being that a 'visual approach' under IFR is not 'see and be seen', therefore not the same as when under VFR. A Visual Approach under IFR does not require VFR minima, and is flown solely with visual reference to terrain for navigation purposes only, whether out of choice or in the absence of an IAP. Traffic detection and avoidance on an IFR Visual Approach is a different matter. In other words its purpose is to locate a landing area visually, and not necessarily other traffic.
There are no specific procedures at Lasham. IFR Visual approaches are executed in the same manner as when approaching any other aerodromes without IAPs outside CAS under IFR.
