Air traffic have never suggested a fast approach

Maybe not in uncontrolled airfields but it is totally normal in controlled airfields to fit in with other traffic. "Maintain 140 kts until 3 dme" or alternatively "reduce speed to X"
Speed control is about knowing your aircraft and having confidence in your abilities. Speed control is about energy and drag management and that should hold true from the lightest aircraft to the heaviest.
I note you are from Scotland so will be well brought up in handling strong winds
