    Thuja maybe - they are brighter green than Leylandii and will regrow after pruning.


    This ^ is probably the right answer, and if it isn't, then it could be worth looking into as an alternative to the ubiquitous Leyland Cypress.

    The variety Emerald (Smaragd) is supposed to be good.

    Also consider this:

    More classy than laurel.

    tiz and Davesnave: I think you managed to identify it! I'm pretty sure it's a Thuja and it sounds much better than Leylandii! Thank you very much for this.

    Thank you all for your help and advice.
