Beamer,

We as ATC would never make that call on our own, but we might very well be instructed by the aerodrome authority to request the pilot land elsewhere if it looks likely that the runway will be blocked and/or cause significant disruption.

Of course, the pilot can then say 'no' and land anyway.
