I once had a discussion with an FOI about that.
If you where to conduct a flight in the local area OCTA and you could demonstrate a knowledge of the area and that your operation was not going to infringe controlled airspace (i.e. I remained less than 2000ft and north of X which is 5nm north of the 2000ft step) then there would not be any charts appropriate for the flight.
I'm not game enough to test that theory just in case another FOI disagrees with it. In your case id do the same and take the VNC or VTC.
