The disturbing (to me) issue is the NPA intent for pilots to determine the runway in use, lunatics taking over the asylum springs to mind!
are you an AFIS agent ?

Because basic rule of the air in ICAO land : in uncontrolled airfields the pilot in command has the choice of the runway in use. Always has been . Is the UK different ?

And I would argue that even in a controlled airport , if the pilot request a specific runway, for any reason , you have to accommodate . It might have to wait , or delay other traffic, but refuse ? don't think you legally can. But I'm not 100% sure of that one.
