  We have a single conifer (Leylandii) on the boundary of our property which is also the boundary of the conservation area. This tree has two trunks and increasingly leans into our boundary fence that we share with a neighbour. This has damaged a series of fence panels in recent months. I am unsure of the trees age but it was well grown when we moved into the property in 2003. It has been seen by a tree surgeon who has advised removal of the tree. Both of the neighbours at the back have asked for its removal due to the fence issue and also a concern about it possibly falling into their buildings as it leans more than it used to. On the map I have indicated our property (yellow highlight) and the tree position is marked in red.
