The style I need citations in seems so far removed from the provided Biblatex styles that I'm unsure whether it's best to extensively modify an existing style or write a custom one; and not too sure how exactly to go about doing either. Full citations are to go in footnotes; no bibliography. Ibid. to be used where appropriate, but not op cit. Here is what I need:
ARTICLE:
First mention:
Allen Carlson, `Nature and Positive Aesthetics’, Environmental Ethics 6 (1984), 5–34, at 33–4.
Subsequent (if not Ibid.):
Carlson, `Nature and Positive Aesthetics’, 33-4.
(NB: only volume, no number)
BOOK:
First mention:
Donald Worster, Nature’s Economy: A History of Ecological Ideas (2nd edn, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1994), 471.
Subsequent:
Worster, Nature’s Economy, 19–38.
INBOOK and INCOLLECTION:
First mention:
Charles Shah Pittendrigh, `Adaption, Natural Selection, and Behavior’, in Anne Roe and George Simpson (eds), Behavior and Evolution (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1958), 390–416, at 400.
Subsequent:
Pittendrigh, `Adaption, Natural Selection, and Behavior’, 392.
Advice gratefully received!

Best Answer
Here, I think this should do more or less what you want (you may find some issues when you add new items with different fields… always happens). A couple of things you may be interested in:
You can load the package with
autocite=footnoteand add\let\cite=\autociteto your preamble, so that\citewill automatically put your citations in footnotes (unless you are already in one).I loaded
babelandcsquoteswithbritishlanguage to get you the single quotes you need; I know of no other proper way to do it.You still need to copy and modify
english.lbxand change the shorthands for "edition" and "editor"/"editors". These changes can't be done in the preamble.Now, add this to your preamble:
And you can copy this to your style file:
Here is what it looks like:
Did I miss anything?
EDIT: Corrected the book and collection/inbook titles that appeared in italics. They are now in roman (but I didn't re-upload the picture).
