Green Leylandii can get big, very very big, 110' plus.
Gold Leylandii will grow to a maximum height of around 60ft
Technically Leylandii is basically not a tree but a hedge in my opinion, is it affecting your rooms by lack of light, then it's anti social behaviour by your neighbour, housing assocation.
Also depending how close it is to the house, there is also the risk of subsidence.

Is there a fence between you and the tree or can you easily access the property?
Might be worth a nip over with a mandrill, and a small amount of desiel, drill hole, pour desiel. Else that tree will be a problem next year the one after and so on, they get massive, they grow very very fast. Poison it, it'll die slowly and won't grow anymore.

Its in a neighbours garden and he has access to it, I will have a word when I see him because the tree in growing over into his garden.
They have a special team that do roof installed, just tell them on the phone it needs to go on the roof.

They don't, the expect YOU to pay for it because it's YOU that has a problem with it. The tenant doesn't, nor does the housing association. I can't believe you expect someone else to pay for it. If the tree was dangerous/dying/diseased then yeah, they may have a duty of care to maintain it - but it blocking a badly place satellite feed? Don't be so silly.

Also, if you hammer a few copper nails into the tree this will kill it. Copper is poisonous, and will leach from the nails into the tree sap over time, eventually killing it off.

Ring sky back up and get them to flag the house for S.A.T which will lock it down for a 2 man specialist team which is what I am. We can install on chimneys or install a 2metre pole anywhere where there is a line of sight. If needed we do carry zone 2 dishes which are slightly larger then the normality mini dishes.
Couldn't help but laugh at this.
Other choice would be an S-Pole or TK bracket from the opposite side of the house totally.So it actually looked back over your roof, as long as your roof isn't overly steep or have any kind of obstructions on your roof they're pretty handy to get around these sort of problems too.
Bake her a pie, go round, smash her pastie, then go home - via the garden, with a chainsaw.
Job Done.
Or maybe this is another solution...

I fail to see how you'll achieve the above with one of these:
Please explain.
Quite a striking resemblance to my neighbour

If the tree is over 20 feet tall you can argue that it constitutes an insurance risk to your property, from both damage from roots and being blown down in high winds. Inform the housing association of this matter and inform them if there is any subsequent damage to your property from their tree you will be claiming from their policy. You can offer to pay for the tree to be trimmed if they arrange access, which they can do. Send it in writing by recorded delivery. Watch and wait.
