Seems like it should be fine.
Think about what would happen if there was no approach and you were flying from White Waltham to Goodwood with your new IMC rating. It's CAVOK north of Guildford, but (for strange Met reasons that only Irv can explain) to the south there is overcast at 1000 feet, tops at 2000. You approach from the north, overfly GWC at 2400 and track out on the 160 radial and start to descend. At 6DME and 1500 feet you level out, do a rate-1 turn to 325 degrees and then start to descend again. At 1000 feet you come out of cloud, see runway 32 about 3 miles ahead and land.
It's a sensible thing to do. All the high ground is to the north of the aerodrome, so descending to the south is fine and by 6 DME you're almost over the sea. It seems to me to be a perfectly sensible letdown - it just happens to be the old VOR approach to runway 32.
(rustle kind of got there first
