This is what I posted previously to a similar question. Hope it helps.

Many conifers, both in hedges and as individual trees, are suffering die back in this area. It is apparently due to an infection of some sort. Not sure whether or not it is carried by some type of aphid. Conifers of the Leylandii type will not re-sprout on old wood. In other words if you trim them back too far they will not re-grow and you will be left with a dead patch. Similarly if the brown patches on your tree /bush are due to die back it will not re-grow. Your only hope is that there is sufficient healthy green growth around the dead patch that will grow round and cover it up and that there is no further die back.

Sorry to sound pessimistic. I am not an expert so in this case I hope a) I am wrong and b).your tree just needs a good watering.
