The writer waited for the child actor to grow up. She belived in the actor and didn't want a recast. That's why there was a long break.
The BBC would have given the show at least one more series maybe (likey) even more. Even a spin off. But the writer has made it clear she want to leave it as it is. The show is made by a production company owned by BBC Studios. The writer has also made other shows with that production company and continue to do so. So the BBC won't want to upset her as she will now be indemand so her wish to end it after 3 series will be respected.
