I think the move is as much about filling that hour on the news channel as it is BBC1.  Half hour filler then news at 10am would work well enough for the channel.   I don't think Nicky Campbell would see it as an axe - think it's a simulcast nobody involved in really wants.

Really? I’d have thought it more coincides with the BBC axing Doctors, and potentially looking to move one of the morning daytime shows to after the News at One to fill the schedule without raising the budget.

Adding an extra 15 minutes to Breakfast potentially just means dragging out a few segments/interviews and some extra headlines - in other words, potentially no more ‘production’ needed.
