Can I cut down my boundary of trees?

The boundary to the right of our house is ours and is currently 1/2 fence 1/2 conifer trees, I would really like to cut down the trees and put a fence all the way - This would give me more space and help reduce family allergies. My neighbour once said in conversation he likes the trees and so I don't want to fall out with them - however I would like to pursue making the changes - any advice? Cheekystar (Sat 08:49 04/Jul/09)

The thing is that if the boundary is yours to maintain it's really up to you how you do it, but as you say it's nice not to upset the neighbours if you can help it
