As an alternative to Privet, you could consider Lonicera nitida. Makes a good dense hedge and can be kept in shape and the required height without too much effort.
It looks really good, just a couple of minor tweaks! I’d remove the triangle of lawn between the path and flower bed and add that to the flower bed, will be a pain to mow that bit! If you push on of your veg beds up to the fence you could get 3 beds in if you wanted, and I thought some stepping stones in the lawn to the trampoline might be fun?
Are you planning to use your decking area for sitting on/entertaining as well as your patio @Boswaldo? If not, you probably won't need to screen the trampoline, veg beds and compost area from the decking side.
A simple horizontal hedge to screen your trampoline from your house and patio view would make it easier to maintain the hedge as well as retaining a sense of space and width in your garden. (I'm not a fan of using trellis.)
I'd recommend Griselinia littoralis for your screening hedge, it's evergreen, fast growing and easy to maintain as a slim hedge. I have one beside my patio, the hedge is 6 feet high but just a foot in depth. Griselinia is happy in sun and part shade and most soils.
I had a long thin garden in a previous property and used Griselinia to divide it half way. Your garden is much wider but these before and after photos may help you:
Hi All, not sure if any interest but thought I’d share an update on the garden after all of your help.
Have made a couple of changes to plan, mainly removing trellis screen at back, delaying pond until children are older (and then dedicating a bigger area) and the addition of the greenhouse. Wife was getting annoyed at all of the seed trays in the house! Gh still a work in progress as picked up for free on market place and needs a few modifications. Made a bit of a mistake with path, you will notice the lack of curve in middle but path was dug out and filled with hardcore and by that time didn’t want to dig out any more of border to facilitate the curve.

Great that you managed to get a free greenhouse!
