The front edge of the layout will roughly follow the middle of Alderson Road. The Yarmouth to Lowestoft line to the rear of the layout is at a distinctly higher level to the yard itself at the front of the layout. The Yarmouth Union line leading from White Swan Yard joined the Yarmouth to Lowestoft line at Caister Road Junction which is just off scene on the layout (to the right on this plan). The branch line accordingly climbs upward toward the right hand end of the layout. The area from Ormond Road toward the junction has had to be considerably compressed as has that between Garrison Road and Ormond Road. Hopefully the atmosphere will still be captured though.
I hope to post some progress showing the baseboards shortly. The plan of the design of the main baseboards is included below. The space between the main yard/ Yarmouth Union line boards and the mainline boards to the rear will be infilled using lightweight boards that carry scenery only. Hopefully this will create a depth to the model that is relatively unusual in 4mm scale.
I very much like your adaptation - I have looked at White Swan as a prototype for modeling, but none of my trackplans convey the location as well as yours.
