A photo would be very helpful, hard to diagnose without one; there could be another cause for brown patches. Different conifer aphids affect different types of conifers, RHS link below on various types and treatment

Otherwise, google 'brown patches on conifers UK' and select the RHS link for other causes.

Well I can see the browning,but no detail at all, unfortunately... you can see it closely, I can't, compare the symptoms with the RHS info on browning conifers, see if you can decide what the problem is....
