I do believe you are correct, mine does not have the light edges to the leaves, but a quick google search suggests you are corrct, many thanks, no wwhere can I buy some bloody big ones (2m+) to hide the rest of the neighbours 

Definitely a pittosporum, but it has been left to go a bit woody. Be careful about pruning because if you cut back beyond the greenery it won't grow back

this is also true, though not helpfull , a google image search revealed exactly the same thing 

Yep. Pittosporum. You can get really nice variegated ones too. Small black, dark red, pale yellow, or white flowers depending on variety, flowers which don't impress, until you catch the scent on a warm summer's evening. Use them down here as hedging sometimes so can be cut back - carefully.

Didn't expect this to be a useful thread but if it hasn't just gone and answered one of my own plant queries. We bought a house last year that has a wall of evergreen and we didn't know what it was. Now I do

Thank you once again Freel2. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental
Now greatly regret selling the Outlander. MPG of the FL2 is atrocious and so are the fuel bills. Fun though 😎
Couldn’t afford the fuel bills so back to an older Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Significantly better than I remembered it to be…

Glad you got the answer and for future reference there is an app called plantnet. Take a photo of the flower or leaf and the app will identify it. Apparently it works  LR Freelander 2 2014 metropolis SD4 auto in Loire Blue.
