You're allowed to remove trees based on your municipality's bylaws
Check your stipulations
Mine, for instance, allow for an owner to remove trees after only 1 year of property ownership

Follow the rules and then tell your neighbor to get stuffed
Plus, Hydro has the power to remove whatever they like so if limb removal isn't enough, they'll just drop it in your yard without a word and leave you the mess
