...some of that should not take up much screen time. Other elements could stand to be expanded upon (introducing Bard while the company is still in Esgaroth comes to mind).
It's probably debatable whether the White Council acted against Dol Guldur before or after the company arrived at Lake-town, but it was right around that time and the movie could play with that a bit. In either case, Gandalf might not have departed for Erebor for a few days yet. If we start Part 2 at Lake-town, do we have Sauron (as the Necromancer) withdraw from Dol Guldur at about the same time the company is escaping from the Wood-elves? That seems to be just about when Gandalf and his council of wizards (actually the White Council, naturally) take action in the book (and another reason why your version of Part 1 might feel a bit crowded--unless you propose not including the White Council subplot).
