It's controlled airspace! Of course they'd need DTVA ATC clearance for any movement in and out of there. So if something was on final approach the ambulance patient would just have to wait.
I suspect the Peel objection is just an attempt to scupper the proposed new base so they have to move back on to Peel-owned land.
