Contact the council they may know who owns the land? You are on dodgy ground if you touch it first without checking if its protected or if the site is not abandoned.

If it's not protected by a Tree Preservation Order you'd be able to prune off branches on your side of the fence. You'd need to check first with the Council to see if there's a TPO on it.

Ask good friendly tree surgeon for advice and help.
