If you rotate the restaurant 180, you can shorten the walk to the main entry.
Why are there new trees east of the restaurant?
West side of the PP has no winter wind protection.

@Sparky83 rotating the restaurant is a great suggestion! Can you remind why I need to provide trees west of pp? I thought it is only needed to protect against "wind" shown on the east.

West end of the PP has no winter wind protection.I thought it is only needed to protect against "wind" shown on the east. The arrow in the plan indicates winter wind direction.

I checked other people's solutions, I think I got it! Thanks @Sparky83 I really wasn't paying attention to the difference between deciduous and coniferous trees.
