Well its something you do and IMO causing you lots of problems.
Its seems like a sensible thing to do but its not. This video here describes your take away to a T and the subsequent problems that causes in the swing. Right arm deep, across the line etc.

Great description of what you are doing here. No arm rotation causes you to be across the line.

This guys swing who sent his swing in to me and my golf has a very similar action to yourself.

Even if you are not interested in this I will leave these videos as it may resonate with someone else who has a similar problem.
I don't think Paul Foston had enough time to tackle this problem as he had enough on his plate. I was kinds surprised he didn't use any slow motion videos with you. Pretty sure a 'shut' take away would be evident on film.

There you go Homer, just what you need, a stack of YouTube videos to further muddy the waters...

Honestly think Martin needs to be single minded and disciplined to work on what ONE person (his latest coach) wants him to do, however well intentioned the other advice

Nail on the head. I appreciate what Gary is trying to do but I have some clear steps to work on. It's a massive project and has to be broken down into stages. I can't move forward until I nail the takeaway and the short swing and flat wrist. That is going to be a big change in itself

This arm rotation is necessary to achieve what you want. Without it there is no way to keep the elbow pointing down at the top of the back swing. It gets pushed back behind you and then lifted up with the arms.
You don't even need to hit balls with this drill. Please try and it with a club at home and tell me if you can still over swing.

Stick with it Homer, and stick with Paul Foston.
I know a few people in my area that have worked him and have nothing but very positive things to say about him. A friend I have made by frequenting the driving range knows him very well from his time coaching Paul Way, he's got a track record of success.
I think you and I have some things in common when it comes to coaching, although you may tell me differently, I don't always fully trust what I'm being told by a coach is the right way to go. I might start off doing what they say, but before too long, I go back to what feels right and what I can make work because I don't see the results that I want from what I'm being taught. If you find a coach that you really believe and trust, stick with them, worth their weight in gold. Even if they're expensive and / or far away!
Good luck.

How about a plan Homer. I live 20 minutes from Paul Fostons studio, so, you pay for some lessons and I'll pop along for you and do the lessons, and then I can give you a rundown on what you're supposed to be doing either on here or by phone - it'll save all that driving on the M25/26/20!

This young lad here has a pretty good back swing. He doesn't keep the face looking at the ball going back for too long. His swing isn't too long and the right elbow folds well and points down somewhat. Its not an outside takeaway and no big massive over swing.

Fantastic offer I'm struggling to refuse but after much soul searching for a matter of seconds I'm going to have to decline
