Different deeds to my neighbour

Attached some images which will make the situation clearer.
Top Left: current layout of lands from Google Maps.
Top Right: approved Planning Permission
Bottom Left: drowing from our deeds showing "the Roadway" hatched in green
Bottom Right: blue is our land, green is neighbour's
So basically it was built differently from the original permission, but the Roadway on the deeds are still showing the expected layout. When we raised our concerns to the council, they required us to submit a retrospective planning permission which resulted as the following image, but the deeds didn't change.
Quoting from our Title:

Rights reserved for the benefit of other land
...
Rest is the same as ours.
Quoting from our solicitor's "Report on Title" document:
Kindly note the rights reserved out of the property in favour of the adjoining properties as referred to in in the deed and highlighted pink. These rights are granted to adjoining property where rights are required over land within you ownership. The rights will be similar to the rights granted for the benefit of the property but in reverse.- The owner of the Land shown coloured green on Plan 1 has a right to enter onto the land shown hatched green on Plan 2 for the purpose of turning.
Quoting from the approved Planning Permission regarding the Roadway:
The permanent space shown on the plans hereby approved to be reserved on
the site to enable vehicles to:- enter, turn and leave the site in forward gear;
- park clear of the public highway;
- load and unload;
Reason - In the interests of satisfactory development and highway safety to
accord with the provision of Policy LP 15.
Quoting from the Officer Report regarding the Roadway after the cuncil's investigation:
It is unfortunate that the car parking and turning areas are not utilised as designed but this remains an issue of good neighbourliness rather than an issue that can be reslved through the planning system. The use of the car parking spaces to the rear of Plot 2 cannot be enforced.
END of quotes
Regarding parking on the Roadway, it is and always been clear to all of us that we shouldn't park on the Roadway, so it never happened. Sorry about not making that clear in the first place, but my original question was, that how these document can say different things?
Ours say: "A right to enter onto the Roadway for the purpose of turning", their's say: "A right of way with or without vehicles at all times and for all purposes over the Radway". Solicitor says: "The rights will be similar to the rights granted for the benefit of the property but in reverse". Council say: "Sorry we can't do anything about this".
Is it legal having different rules over the same piece of land? If yes, which on is right and which one is wrong? If not, who is responsible for it?
PS: Thank you for reading through all this...
Will this do?There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0
