LVP safeguarding doesn't necessarily mean that LVP's are actually in force. All the physical safeguarding needs to be in place before ATC can operate LVPs, so if conditions are Cat I or above then ATC can still operate to Cat I holds. This also keeps delays to a minimum as LVPs significantly reduce the movement rates which causes delays to build up very quickly at busy airports.
