They want it out and replanted with a new conifer, does the soil need treating?? I was gonna dig root out and put loads of compost in. Advice appreciated.

Are those wheelie bins tuther side of wall? They haven't been spraying something noxious nearby by any chance.

Could be frost that has killed that. If the sun comes round and then the dead part is shaded by something like a building?

There is a main road on the other side, good thinking on the wheelie bins, no buildings near. There are so many things that can do this and I have has 6 in the last week to look at around my area.

Salt spray from the roads after all the gritting over the winter?

I'd agree with the over spray and add as it been sob wet and windy then over spray drifting could have happened quite easily

Only has affected the end tree, you would think salt would have got them all.

Any better close up pics. My first thought was road salt, but can't see the orientation of where the nearest road is. If that's not likely, I'd be looking for Armillaria symptoms and examining the root collar for damage, girdling roots etc. If that reveals nothing the next steps foliage. There is something that affects these severely but I can't think what it is, off the top of my head.

 

Replanting may be a waste of time if you can't identify the problem, if it's honey fungus the rest is going to decline anyway.
