Does this answer your question?
I beg to differ. Doc 4444 defines Manoeuvring Area as:
"That part of an aerodrome to be used for the take-off, landing and taxiing of aircraft, excluding aprons."
RESAs are a contingency measure in the event of an aircraft overruning/undershooting a runway and are therefore not to be routinely used for take-off/landing/taxiing. Therefore they are not to be used in accordance with the definition. They are accordingly under the control of the aerodrome operator, not ATC.
