[Breezeblock]

In reality, he's unlikely to agree to removing it so...

Take the opportunity to cut a couple of feet off the width. This will thicken it up anyway and improve its shape before it takes off like a rocket and adds 3 metres over the next 3 years so you're back where you started!

Be careful cutting in back, depending on what it is depends on how much you can cut it back, if its western red cedar (Thuja Plicata) then you can cut it back past the green foliage and it will regrow, if its something like Lawson or Leyland Cypress then you can't cut back past the green foliage, it will not regrow and you'll end up with a brown horrible mess! Have to say though,i'm with the get rid of it'ers!
