In uncontrolled airspace, VFR users operate 'see and avoid' with the exception of freefall parachutists who cannot. It appears that there are no restrictions on them to prevent starting operations wherever they can get the landowners agreement, and then applying for a NOTAM so that other users avoid them - even in an area as already congested with VFR traffic as Barton Stacey ( Odiham and Middle Wallop helicopters, Lasham and Shalbourne gliders, Popham light aircraft, plus several airstrips.)

Wile I am not in general 'dog in the manger' this does seem to me to be as inappropriate a location as I can imagine, and I will be putting in an objection.
