    Ok so I think I have solved this myself! 
    It seems as though navigating to the page library and clicking 'New' and selecting any content type doesn't work - regardless of permissions.

    However just going to the home page and selecting New / Page works perfectly and gives me loads of options and stores them happily in the Page library!

    Is this just a functionality change on modern sites maybe?

    Anyway, found a solution.

    SarahTurner : Same issue I faced and it took lot of time to resolve. Below two solutions try any one of the below and check:

    A] To enable or disable scripting from the SharePoint admin centre.

    1)Sign in to Office 365 with your work or school account.

    2)Go to the SharePoint admin centre.

    3)Select Settings.

    4)Under Custom Script choose below setting:

     

    Note: It will take 24 hours to take effect.

     

    B] Use the following PowerShell command.

    a) Open SharePoint online management shell

    b) Enter Connect-SPOService

    c) Enter URL of admin site https://<yourdomain>-admin.sharepoint.com

    d) username and password

    e) Set-SPOSite -Identity https://<yourdomain>.sharepoint.com -DenyAddAndCustomizePages $false

     

    Note: It will take 24 hours to take effect.
