Personally I don't mind, I think TMZs are a good idea and I think there should be one around every main airport that doesn't have CAS
Might be an idea to read the consultation docs then. This is a temporary TMZ below the Scottish TMA, supposedly to guard against non-transponding traffic infringing the TMA from below, over a planned wind farm, before a new radar is brought in to deal with the effects of the wind farm. Frankly I think this TMZ is a complete waste of time since none of the traffic in this airspace is getting a radar service, all of them are asked to squawk already, and in any case the TMA radar controllers just ignore primary-only radar contacts because they're deemed to be below controlled airspace (Scottish TMA is already transponder-mandatory above 6000ft and of course all IFR traffic is squawking).
