We've had most of our discussions before. 
When we moved here there was an Irish Yew in the front garden. It spread upwards and outwards until it was touching the front hedge. We tried tying it together to control the spread but it would spring out. You couldn't cut a branch out as it left a bare gap. Finally, we cut the top level as it was blocking so much light from the house and garden.
When a neighbour told us it looked like Marge Simpson, we decided enough was enough. The tree was cut down and we put a beehive over the stump to disguise it.
However, the yew lives on........it has self seeded in the front hedge and there's one in the back hedge too - I blame the birds for that.
I know that whatever I think won't affect whatever you want to do - but I like saying it anyway.
