HM79.. I suspect that's the case at many places. At Heathrow most everything is governed by noise abatement. Nevertheless, minute by minute operation of the airfield is in the hands of ATC so if the weather changed, the TWR decide if a runway change is appropriate and do not have to seek advice from operators (at least, they didn't used to!).
