Would some one who is flying an unpublished approach in IMC below the safety altitude please inform the CAA with all the details if they feel it is legal and then let's see if they are prosecuted or not.
Hear hear. After all:

NCO.OP.110 Aerodrome operating minima — aeroplanes and helicopters

(a) For instrument flight rules (IFR) flights, the pilot-in-command shall select and use aerodrome operating minima for
each departure, destination and alternate aerodrome. Such minima shall:

(1) not be lower than those established by the State in which the aerodrome is located, except when specifically
approved by that State; and

(2) when undertaking low visibility operations, be approved by the competent authority in accordance with Annex V
(Part-SPA), Subpart E to Regulation (EU) No 965/2012.


So whether you operate iaw the ANO or Part-NCO, you may only descend below your minumum safe altitude in IMC if you are following an approved procedure.
