I'm liking these suggestions particullarly the Magnolia-thanks

 

 

The good thing about them is that they are all selected standard and larger, so that when planted, they will provide screening above fence height, whereas you will have to wait for shrubs to grow as tall as the fence before they begin to provide any benefit.

 

The other advantage is they don't take up too much space at ground level, so the garden feels a little bigger.

 

The privets are good bet, they cost around £60.00 each for the green versions or a bit more for variegated. The magnolias and Photinias are nice, but quite a bit more expensive.
