We were wondering if there is a legal height for such trees.

They should have the information you want. However, it would be better to
talk to your neighbours first in a friendly way to see if they would agree to

You'll know from my posts I'm about as much a beginner gardener as it's
possible to be :-) But I'd always try and resolve an issue with
neighbours in a friendly way. Most of the time the neighbour doesn't
even realise there's an issue.
