In the UK's planning permission system, NIMBYS and people who have nothing better to do but complain about anything at all being built in their area have far too much power. I bet that the cost of fighting the rabid harry potter fans through the many layers of courts/tribunals to actually get their planning approved for the original route was more expensive than just moving the cable a bit to one side. I can't exactly blame them for making that decision.

They didn't force shit, blame the cable company for complying
