with some kind of reasonably quick growing narrow
type evergreen (conifer perhaps).

I would like to control the height of the tree/shrub to about
8
foot
but keep the body narrow.

avoid leylandii, whatever you do.

Leyllandii do grow pretty quickly - and, if you have a mind to,
can be
kept to whatever shape you desire.
They just need regular trimming. The more often you trim, the
denser
they become. So long as you remain in control, it will do the job.

But at only 5 ft away from a conservatory and growing to 8 ft the
roots of
Leylandii could be a problem ..........they sure are in our soil

......... and that will be a problem with any vigorous grower.
