I'm fine with it. The three developers concerned are perfectly able to
work locally for a day.

OK, so let's say I create a tag and build for UAT from that.
Dev A checks in some code,
Dev B checks in some code,
Dev A checks in some code,
I'm notified of a failure in UAT and ask for a fix to be committed,
Dev C checks in a fix
I tag and build again.
Isn't there a chance that the new build contains code submitted by A and
B that may break an area of the codebase not covered by UAT ?

For the same reasons as outlined above. A fix to code that has failed
UAT might come after a number of other commits, none of which are
scheduled for UAT, and for that reason I would like to restrict commits
on the one day we do UAT.
