Rusty forgets the old adage - one picture tells a story better than a

Your hedge idea is presumably to combat your view of the new fence.
Why not live with its benefits and use it to grow climbers and creepers

They will produce "greener" benefits far better and quicker.
than any freestanding hedge that will struggle in this position.
BTW - I would also be considering the future of the conifers that remain.
Perhaps your hedging whips would be better employed at the bottom of your
garden !
