Camp Freddie,
For the land clear issue:
The CAA is following the work that has been done in JAR-OPS 3 and ICAO to move away (for helicopters) from the use of Congested Area to the more practical Congested Hostile Environment; this aligns with the definition of a Non-Hostile Environment (which includes a statement which indicates that any part of a Congested Area which has adequate forced landing area may be regarded as Non-Hostile).
Thus the capability for glide clear (in accordance with ICAO Annex 2) is no longer required.
