Design and Planning question: Trees near raised beds

Hi,
Need some advice please. We have just had an extension and I also have the opportunity to re lay my garden. I have a small problem. From my new upstairs window I can see the roofs of next door flats row of garages (not unpleasant but not great either). I would like to hide this view by planting a couple of medium trees. But this is the same side of the garden where I was planning my raised beds for vegetables. My sense is that the raised beds will still get sunlight, even if I plant trees.
If I go ahead, the trees would be within a few feet of the raised beds. Is this a problem? Are there particular trees that would be better suited to being near the vegetable patch or shall I forget the trees?
Really grateful for your advice.
