Shame about the hawthorn as it's a really good size and shape but I fully understand why you made the decision. FWIW, I prefer a hedge (and I love beech) over a panel fence anyday.
Oh well it's gone now, looking forward to seeing your completed design on site!
To answer David's question, the main reason I made the decision was that due to the aspect of the garden, it blocked sunlight to the bottom corner of the garden which is the only place I can put a greenhouse. Sited there, the greenhouse will be more or less south facing. In the winter, only the bottom third of the garden gets sun for most of the day. I also figured that I would be compensating for its loss by planting around 200 Beech plants. There are also a lot of mature trees near the garden.
I was disappointed to read that you have taken down your running post of the garden makeover you are doing- I, for one, was following it with interest and looking forward to seeing the end result.
I do hope you re-instate it as I'm sure others were reading it too.
All the best
Phil
