tall fast growing shrub or tree

Question
Hi Laura

We live in the UK (Band 8) and want to grow a shrub or tree as quickly as possible to shield us from our neighbours. Can you suggest something that will grow to about 12 feet very quickly but then not grow much more as it will be quite difficult to trim at that height.

Answer
Bob,
here are some links to go for info:

I got these from www.google.com so if you need more sources just go there and type in a direct search for"best evergreens for The United Kingdom".
