I'm not an XML Schema expert, so any help here would be great

Ah, so this is more a style thing.

Over the top? I didn't know I oculd remove <import>s? I thought
they were required for validation.
I could make these changes but I'd much prefer someone who knows more
about the detail of XSD to do this - such as yourself? :)
If you could provide me with a new version of the .xsd file - that
you have checked - that would be great.
Thanks for the feedback
