Took them a year to trim back a tree that was overgrowing our house. I would just cut the lowest branches and leave them at the bottom of the tree. Legally you have to give the branches back.
Drilling into it and putting chemicals in will take years to kill it. We did one & took it out a year later and it was barely rotten

Chopping it down might raise a few questions?

Will they not let you remove it if you cover the costs?
Sweeten it by planting another two trees on the otherside of the world.

Cut half way through it then leave it. Someone else will report it and council will have to remove immediately due to the dangerous nature of said half cut down tree. New saw will take you a few minutes . Do it late on

This is a fully grown tree, not one of your pub chair legs.
Most he will do with a hand saw is tickle the bark. Idiot.
