I take it the environmentalists had far to much say in its building and

Environmentalists generally [1] didn't want the thing built at all.
That is true whether it was the landscape lobby, who call themselves
environmentalists but it is debatable whether they are, or
environmentalists. It is fair to say that, if it was to be built, it
was the landscape lobby which, with some exceptions, wanted
passengers imprisoned at the top.

[1] I say generally because there may have been some who did.
