Controlled Airspace is for sensible pilots and controllers but the clockwork mice brigade have a very strong lobby....
I am a clockwork mouse pilot and consider myself sensible.

I have no reservations with the establishment of controlled airspace to increase the safety of all aircraft.

This means it should be available for transits and isn't Class A.

Nearest NERL radars Debden and Clee Hill
Yet Stapleford, North Weald, Elstree and Panshangar has no radar approaches.

An approach function from Swanwick would involve Band 5 controllers doing a job normally done by Band 1 or 2 controllers - far too expensive.
Is it possible to put band 1 or 2 controllers at Swanwick? Or do the employees just don't mix?

chances are you couldn't ever provide a Deconfliction Service anyway
What's the separation minima?
