Don't worry too much about rotating stuff, just try not to plant anything from the same family in the same area two years running.
Having said that, kale and radishes are brassicas. People do tend to stick radishes in wherever there is a gap between crops, but I'd keep the kale with the other brassicas, as they need similar conditions.
I demand the right to buy seed of varieties that are not "distinct, uniform and stable".

Re the peas and beans, just make sure that one isn't shadowing the other
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Thank you both!
I'll amend where I need to, not much by the look of it.

Re the peas & beans, I may have to re-think their position... the frame will be pointing North so there would be shadow... hmmm!

The frame should if you can point south...
