looking at Dave.

It's good for keeping the loft cool in the summer days, if we get some.

That green shade cloth is actually very good. It will keep a lot of rain out but still breathe.
I built my loft so the air comes in under the back wall, so when it's wet I close the front right in and it still has lots of air. It also has a high roof so rain runs off.

I live on an estate so I have a lot of houses all round me. My garden is actually overlooked by 5 other houses plus five flats. Hence the need for the conifers to give us some privacy from the flats.
While the loft is facing NE, I have another row of houses about 50 yards away which might keep any wind from the North side down a bit so I will wait to see how much of a problem it is and deal with it accordingly.
I am in the process of putting the roof on and have decidid to do about 800mm of the entire front (including the overhang) in polycarb. I think this will let a good deal of the early morning sun into the loft and some light when the sun is overhead but will block out most 9f the light from the street light behind. I will put sliding roof shutters in if it becomes a problem.
Thank you all for your help and suggestions, I have plenty of options now.
