BUT an architect friend suggested that I look at either Larch or Douglas Fir as they're both better for timber. Been researching today, it seems that DF is not entirely windfirm, on Larch the advice I've had so far indicates it's a good choice but it'll be either Japanese or Hybrid not our native. Still waiting for a couple of people to come back to me.
Right, this is (I think) the final version, the sea buckthorn is in cos it's an N fixer and the fruit is supposed to be great for jams, wines etc and has huge amounts of vitamins AND omega 3s.
Looks like attachemnets issn't wotrking for non images, have reposted as an image.
The Scots Pine will be removed at year 15.

Don't quite get the file (I cracked you post and found the file). Are you having 4 rows of planting to create the break?
Yeah it's 4 rows, the first two will effectively become one at some stage. I've reposted the image.

Could you not swap rows 2 and 3 around, so the big trees have a bit more room to grow, are are you after the front two rows growing together after only a few years?
Nice! I like that you're planting small leaved lime, its a gorgeous tree. Are you going to allow any of the trees in the hedge to grow into taller specimens, or is it all going to be kept snug?

Row 1 on the outside and row 4 on the inside?
I'm thinking that you'll get more wind inside if you have high outside and low inside, as oposed to a 'ramp' facing the wind.
