Help me save this plant?

It's currently by the north facing front door. I rotate it with the one on the other side of the door, yet this one is dying and the other one is perfectly healthy.
How do I nurse it back to health?

    We had conifers go like this over the years, have you tried re potting it perhaps the roots are water logged after the wet weather we had earlier in the year.

    Too late I'm afraid. Once conifers start going brown there's a fair chance they are already dead. Conifers are strange in that in a whole row of leylands the only ones to die are the ones in the middle.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    If conifers start going brown from the outside in then it is due to lack of water. If they go brown from the inside out then they have been attacked by the conifer mite and the plants are unsalvageable. I was just reading about this in Christine Walkden's book last night.
