Tree drooping

I have a fir tree
This it a few days ago and there’s 2 branch that are drooping in the picture, I know there’s a lot of small cones developing but it’s never dropped like this before.
I’ve pulled these up and tied them up, took all day to winch them as there’s no central limb.
Is this due to the lack of rain we’ve had this year ( non in April or may here ) or age, we have been here for 13 years is it a time to call it quits and develop the plot it’s on.

next door have taken all there trees bar two, one of which is leaning at 45 deg behind my fir tree, I know she knows but if it falls she say it’s their problem now and wash her hands of it with letters from a solicitor ( her brother )
Not sure of the variety of the tree but it sheds pollen in clouds in May.

 

Look a bit like a Lawsons cypress.
They do tend to droop with age.

Not quite sure what you are saying about the neighbours.
