There is nothing in theory to stop it going in.
Which is what the airport requesting CAS will say.
But as we all know that once the airspace is controlled the ATCO's have the power of refusal due to a variety of reasons.
But in this case you will still be a huge pain in the arse under the stub without a transponder as you will keep going in and out of the primary and keep giving them pop up primary traffic and because your not squirting mode C.
Mode A only is going to be an even bigger pain because its going to give loads of traffic warnings on the CAT TCAS. Mode C at 1400ft is going to give anything below 2500ft Resolution advisory's.
So actually they will have been stopped giving the current profiles used with unrestricted decent they will have to step it and keep them higher to a lot nearer in. Something which if they had done anyway they wouldn't have the current issues.
And quite how they are going to manage when the radar is out is anyone's guess as the procedures will still take them outside controlled airspace at 1500ft.
Similar to Inverness its going to stop them trying to move you out of certain bits of airspace which they currently try to with inbounds.
