Trees overgrowing garden

Hello, I live at 53 Dingle Road Rushden (NN10 6RX) and our house backs on to the Knuston Farm fields. Between our house and the fields is a public footpath and there are trees on this path which have grown very large and could do with being pruned, especially as they now overhang our garden (and others in the road). The trees were coppiced about 2008 and these ones were planted then but have never been cut back and they are huge. It would be good to have them cut back rather than coppiced, as we do have a lot of birds use them, especially woodpeckers and owls. Could you please advise me if this can be done by you? Many thanks
