I wondered who would pick up on Norwich first, to be fair they got the idea from Newquay. From an Ops perspective I can see significant benefit, the Norwich money for example has gone straight into a pot to allow for replacement of legacy equipment and the meeting of the many new and varied regulatory requirements. I guess they could have upped their landing fees and nobody would have been any the wiser. I admire them for the approach, at least this way you know the money is going to keep the facility you fly from safe rather than at the bare minimum acceptable to CAA. It's not that unusual, it's fairly common practice at many holiday type destinations.
