Where do i stand with regards to my neighbour, their over hanging trees & a preservation order?

Question

I'm living in a Housing Association property. I wrote to the Housing last year complaing about my neighbours trees & over powering Landii hedge. Neighbour did eventual hack a few foot off Landii hedge & lopped one branch. I'm still not happy because all their trees are 4-5ft higher than my house, two were over hanging my roof & has ripped part of my gutter away. I've taken matters into my own hands (now i totaly regret doing) & have got a friend to cut off everything which was over hanging my boundery. My neighbours have now told me that its a conservation area & the trees have a preservation order. The Housing have told them to call the police, but they didn't, which i was very greatfull for. I'm now in real big trouble with my Housing Association & i'm not sure what is going to happen with regards to conservation area rules & preservation order. If i knew i was going to get into all this trouble & cause all this upset & distress, i wouldn't have bothered with any of this! Any advice?
