Chris Pearson:
As you know, it falls foul of 522.6.201.
I agree with Andy, were you doing an EICR, it would be C3.
On the whole, I think better for the structural integrity of the house to leave it where it is; but if you are feeling energetic, you could drill some holes (1/2"?) through all the joists and re-site it.
If some prat puts a nail through it, so be it.
I am not inclined to reduce the strength of the wooden joist any more Chris by drilling. The cable is large, about the width of a man's thumb.
