Default Can you heavily cut back a holly bush?

Hello.

I have just bought my first house and on the boundary with a neighbour, they have a large bulbous mature holly bush that is growing onto my driveway by about 2-3 foot.

The main trunk of the holly brush is pretty much on the boundary so if i cut it right back off my driveway i get the feeling it would become bare in the middle and possibly stay that way.

It is also a privacy bush.

Can someone advise me if there is a way to cut a holly bush right back off my property, but for it to restablish dense leaf cover around the trunk and sidewards along the boundary?

Thanks
