Good evening all. I wish to plant a hedge between my driveway and neighbours. Ideally the hedge should NOT be deciduous, which rules out Beech. Any ideas or suggestions. Thank you in advance

Any hedge will scratch a car if not kept trimmed back - even soft-foliaged plants will mark modern motor vehicle paintwork which is much softer than older types.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Pittosporum is nice. Cotoneaster franchettii is lovely with red berries for the birdies. Hebe's can be nice, some are quite soft, not all are very hardy though.
This is a great site.
