CAP452 is what you need - available on CAA website. This in turn cross-refers to CAP413 (sic).

2. In CAP431 is mentions that when an aircraft reports that it's ready to cross the active runway, the A/G operator should reply with "G-ABCD After the PA28 has landed no reported traffic", this sounds to me as though the controller is almost instructing the aircraft to cross ONLY after the aircraft has landed rather than advising them?
An A/G operator is just that, not a controller - and does not even advise; he passes factual information. There is no question that he "should reply..."; what you quote is just an example. An AGCS operator holds a certificate, not a licence, for that function.
