On the matter of determining the need for different levels of ATS, I can recall a time when the CAA had a sort of policy to determine when ATC was needed but never really applied it.
It WAS enshrined in CAP 670 rather than just being 'a sort of policy' but it's probably in some other CAP nowadays.
I know of 2 airfields in the UK where the CAA applied it, both of them VFR with no iap's.
