Ballooning in controlled airspace

On Saturday afternoon I noticed a hot-air balloon over south Manchester. Unfortunately I don't have a chart to hand but from memory they must have been very close to the CTR. Although it was VMC given that they are at the mercy of the wind surely there's something wrong flying a balloon into or near a busy piece of controlled airspace. Anyone care to comment.
