Licensed airfields need ATC, AFIS or AG during opening hours anyway, so having PCL is odd?
That again is different in different countries. Licensed airfields in Sweden don’t need any of these, although obviously they are then restricted to VFR ops. They also sometimes have PCL – including airports with part-time ATC.
I meant CAA licenced airfields, AG is UK term, it does not exist in other countries 
Licensed airfields in Sweden don’t need any of these
Same in France, licenced runways don’t require ATS and are open for VFR & IFR operations including at night
UK licenced airfields can be used day VFR with no-one present with an out-of-hours indemnity.
I think all UK airports become unlicensed runways with out-of-hour indemnity (the case for night arrival in Stapleford, Elstree, Redhill and no one around not sure about others)
