You have a wide choice of woodland plants at that pH. If you should want to plant any chalk lovers you can always make a pocket of chalk or lime soil for them. If you find you do need some more neutral areas you can always lime it. It sounds as if its going to have good texture and fertility so you are off to a good start. Small azaleas would probably do well.
