Here, Local Laws that dictate tree pruning & removal overide the Common Law that says you can do that, provided the tree is of size that meets the council criteria to need a permit. Instead you will have to prune to standards and permit conditions. Some reduction of spread may be allowed, but necessarily back to fenceline unless it is suitable for the tree to be pruned that way.
And you will need the neighbours/tree owners written permission to get the permit.
