Can I mix different tyre tread patterns?
No. Mixing different tread patterns across the same axle is not allowed. The identical tyre model and tread pattern must be fitted for a single axle. You can, however, use different tyres on a separate axle – just as long as they too match each other.

Mixing brands and patterns of the same construction type is permissible depending on the vehicle type and manufacturers recommendation. Check your vehicle’s handbook for tyre fitment details and options.

It isn't a mine field really. As someone else states it is a sales pitch (albeit with a genuine safety tag to it).
A general observation for me, is that they are retail sales pages, not government websites. So I would question the accuracy of their statements, particularly if they have the potential of financial gain.
If you have any doubts, simply google the relevant term, in this case tyres, along with '.Gov legislation ' . This should provide the relevant legislation(s) for what you are seeking.
Personally I prefer to have all the same on all four corners. However, this has only been a financial possibility for me over the past 4 or 5 years. Previously though if I had mixed tyres, I would have driven to the quality I believed them.to be and to my own ability.
