No descent below 4000 outside 13nm LHR

Today, I received a light ticking off from the best controllers in the world.

Having been cleared to intercept the LOC (only) for 27R. I asked for further descent as the glide slope approached ..... This was denied.

There then followed a melee of crossed transmissions as I attempted to say LOC established in order to get clearance to descend with the glide.... As we sailed through the g/s....

I was told that there is no descent below 4000 outside 13nm.....

You guys are not normally like this.... Has anything changed ....?

Or was this a one off ?

Cheers
