Leylandii hedge on HA property grown to about 20m and totally shading garden.

We have a house with gardens backing onto the gardens of a parallel street. The lay out is odd. At one point it looks like there has been a lane between the gardens, but this has now been incorporated into one garden of the houses opposite.

This house now has a T shaped garden, with the top of the T long and narrow and running along the back gardens of our street.

At some point this long strip has been planted with leylandii. When we moved in they were not so bad, provided a bit of privacy from the opposite houses. But now they have grown to about 20 ft and shade our garden for much of the year. All our grass has died.

We also want to build a garden office, pretty much underneath the trees, but i am worried about the damage these untended trees could do.

After some slething on the land registry i found out the house is owned by a housing authority. I have contacted them several times, but have had zero response. Any suggestions on what to do next?
