At a height of approximately 70-80 ft, it was a potential risk to nearby possibly damaging them properties in the event of failure or if the roots were to cause subsidence. In many cases, once Leylandii conifer (and some other specimen cypress trees) reach a certain size, it is very difficult to reduce the crown to a safe and appropriate size.
