Correct bar shaker. Current Rule 5 says:
(1)(e) An aircraft shall not fly closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle or structure…
(2)(d) Paragraph (1)(e) shall not apply to:
(i) any aircraft while it is landing or taking off in accordance with normal aviation practice
It's the practising of approaches that has always been restricted to licensed or Govt aerodromes.
NS

Incidentally ripline the changes to Rule 5 have nothing whatsoever to do with EASA. EASA has no jurisdiction over airspace. The rule change was part of a general review of aspects of UK air law which were found by an ICAO audit not to be in accordance with ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices.
