Who are hse - if by HSE you mean Health and Safety Executive - of course you can remove Artex from a wall - why would they want to know
Be very careful as some artex can be hazardous to your health, (older artex has asbestos in it. i think if it was produced before 1987)
If it's your own house yes, if your renting then you'll probably need permission from your landlord, or council.
You should be able to remove with a steamer, this will dampen it and keep the dust down.
