and what is the railways inspectorates width requirement anyway
for new platforms?

Where trains are below 100mph, 2.5m unobstructed. The northbound
platform is 2.6m on the drawings, and possibly is in real life. The
lights being moved onto the platform would certainly push it below
2.5m.

Does this mean that removing the lighting columns and attaching the
lights to the walls might fix the problem?

I'm currently trying to get some official word from Westfield.
