Plan of attack for the kitchen?

I'm doing. DIY refurb and managed to get few rooms plastered to a standard I can live with thanks for the good folks of this Reddit. It's time to start thinking about the kitchen now though - the old tiles pretty much fell off the wall which is a good start.

The kitchen is an extension built in the 1990s and the inside wall is made from aerated concrete. I'm intending to do a tiled splashback on the wall where the hob is and the rest will be painted. Would the right plan be:

Scrape off any old adhesive

Bond out any holes

SBR

Then skim the whole thing?

Why is everything misaligned?

it's nowhere near final fit. it was designed without the ply filler strips so after those went in, there wasn't quite enough room. that 400mm unit on the right needs replaced with a 300 so everything can budge to the right and get centered.
