My concern with that is I would VERY quickly decide I needed a lens with a longer range. I did think maybe the EF-S 15-85mm f3.5-5.6 IS USM would be a better option but at £600 ish it's not a cheap lens. If I'm spendign that much do i then go for the Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 EX IF HSM at £630 instead ???

Suggest you consider the Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM Lens at £349 and get the Canon 70-200mm F4 L. The Sigma 17-70mm is loved by all who use it and worth every penny. As to UV filters, I don't use them myself and have never had a problem. AS long as you can hold a lens steady then you shouldn't miss IS. I have the Nikon 300mm F4, which doesn't have VR and never had a problem holding it steady, but normally keep the shutter speed at 500s.
