I'm no expert but I wouldn't have thought it would do any harm, especially since you were already 3/4 tank full.
Did you ask them at the fuel station?

Who can use biodiesel?
The government’s long-term goal is a carbon neutral transport network. This includes the introduction of the ‘renewable transport fuel obligation’ which means fuel suppliers to the transport industry must increase their use of renewable fuels. Car owners (with a diesel engine vehicle) can use biodiesel if their vehicle has been modified but do check with the manufacturer before attempting to run your vehicle on anything but the recommended fuels. For more information on biodiesel, and to request a quote.

Can biodiesel damage your car?
The oil industry believes biodiesel is not to blame for problems that car owners are experiencing. But not everyone agrees.

As mentioned by @Lord Mfwic I doubt topping up 1/4 of a tank one time will harm it.
No, it was only after I left that it dawned on me. There were no signs saying it was biodiesel, but I think Gleaner fuels are.

My T6 150ps Euro 6 has a big label under the filler cap saying “No Bio Diesel”, however at the pumps standard diesel is now marked B7 which means it has 7% bio diesel element to it.
How much bio element is in the diesel that you put it? If it’s B7 then I wouldn’t worry at all as that it what you get in most places now anyway and is standard diesel.

It was B7! Oh thank god! I’ve got the same engine as you as well...
You’re safe in that case, that’s a relief!
I had a look at the Gleaner website too, it looks like they are selling Shell fuels.
This AA link confirms that B7 is normal diesel.

New Labels On Petrol And Diesel Pumps 2019 | AA
New labels are set to appear on all petrol and diesel pumps by 1 September 2019 but the fuel you use is exactly the same. Petrol pumps will have E5 in a circle and diesel pumps will have B7 in a square.
