I have some 40 year old Leyland Cyprus ( we call them palm trees) surrounding my home.One of them has gone completely withered looking and on closer inspection the others are developing brown dead looking under branches? ? ?
Please can someone advise

Please post some photos: the entire plants, the general location, plus close ups. We can't really help much without these.

it could be a drought problem or cut too tight

it is quite normal for foliage of leyland Cypress not exposed to the light to turn brown and wither as the younger foliage grows longer. However if a tree is dead then it is gone and if it is affected by a root disease then it will probably spread to the adjoining trees. A photo would help.
