Remortgage - electrical pylon on land

Options
Hi we bought our lovely house 9 years ago and mortgaged with no problems. We are now needing to borrow more to do some work to the house and our mortgage provider has refused as it is now against their criteria to lend against houses with an electrical pylon on the land. 

Is anyone aware of lenders that are happy to lend with pylons on land?  I've been warned that a lot of lenders now won't help us 😞

The  pylon is scheduled to be removed but it could still be up to 10 years before this happens sadly 😞
