Hello. I'm preparing the area shown for planting. It's very rocky, but well drained as it's fractured limestone near the surface. There was a little gully and I have deepened and widened it a little by removing rock. I have back filled with topsoil to approx 1 foot deep. Ideally I woukd like to plant beech hedging or maybe grilling. Not sure if this is a bad idea given the location?

You could plant hedging there but I’d have two concerns. There is an obvious slow towards the wall and the gully may have been a means to allow water drainage and prevent water build up against the wall. Are there drain holes in the wall?
Secondly if built too close to wall the hedge roots may eventually destabilise the wall or damage the surface on the far side.
