What Should We Plant To Replace Our Conifers?

Question

We live approximately 500 metres from the Blackpool coast line and have conifers that protect the front of our house and used to provide great privacy for us. They have become an eyesore and gaps have appeared throughout. We have seen Viburnum tinus; Prunus laurocerasus Can you recommend any? we would like them to grow approx 8 foot high and span approx 4m. https://www.google.com/maps/place/489+Devonshire+Rd,+Blackpool+FY2+0JR/@53.8460906,-3.0415428,3a,15y,47.82h,89.36t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s2XbdPpXO0xed748JfS058Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!4m5!3m4!1s0x487b436141b499cd:0xf586d16ad2d3c5a4!8m2!3d53.8462124!4d-3.0411737 Thanks in advance Regards Michael Watkinson
