From your description, I wonder whether it might be Griselinia littoralis, an increasingly common hedging plant from New Zealand, which might have found last winter a bit on the cold side for it in England. Though one near us (near M25 to NW of Londond) is undamaged,

I think you are right about the identification - this is almost certainly the plant.
We had thought about the cold weather but we probably had less cold a time than much of the rest of the UK, so I had wondered about a disease. It really does look like all of these plants in the area are in trouble.
Remedy wise... I presume I am stuck just digging it up and starting again? What is the best bet for an alternative hedge type which will grow nice and quickly and be happy enough in a small garden in a built up area?
Thanks
