Farnborough Control Zone?

It looks as though another swath of controlled airspace may be introduced in the future around Farnborough. Presumably to facilitate IFR departures to/from GWC,CPT, SAM, and to the north.
NATS are at present consulting on the various proposals.
At the moment IFR movements are worked by LARS before joining and leaving airways.
Hopefully this can be solved by small stubs to accommodate the ILS on 24/06 and a small extention above the airfield to allow imediate climb and descent into the airways system.
This is a very busy and complicated area for GA, and if not carried out sympathetically could result in many more airspace busts in the future.
