The owner shut you down on the windy day for a good reason.

You won't always be able to shoot your approach into wind to your final parking position. You will probably have to hover-taxy some distance and turn around to get onto the pad. If the wind is too strong, you would have to taxy backwards around the airfield - not a good idea? Specially passing between other parked aircraft.
