I was meant to be off next week but have managed to cancel it, they said aslong as you rebook it for future date on same sheet as cancellation they'll approve

Got a week off in may was told can’t cancel because if everyone does it will cause a backlog.

COVID-19: Managing holiday and extension of carry-over provisions
The Working Time Regulations 1998 have been amended to allow workers to carry forward unused holiday for up to two years where they have been unable to take it due to the COVID-19 pandemic

Can employers require an employee to take holiday and/or refuse to allow an employee to cancel holiday?
Edit;
................. Workers may be happy to use up holiday where little of the holiday year remains, but if you are at the start of a holiday year, you should consider leaving workers with the opportunity to take holiday at a later point in the leave year. If you are requiring employees to take holiday or if you are refusing a request to cancel a holiday, it will be also be important to consider each individual’s circumstances in order to avoid potential issues of indirect (or direct) discrimination.
