That is NOT holly leaf miner. The defining characteristic of that is

the
mining of tracks between the top and bottom surfaces of the leaf by

the
grub, leaving a disfiguring but greeny yellow raised area visible on

the top
surface not the best image but....

Neither does it look like Holly leaf blight which leaves dead

blackened
twigs, tends to work from the ground up and (in the cases i have

observed)
the leaves have a more strongly defined "line of death". But I'm

less
certain about ruling it out completely

Right - now I know what it isn't :~))
Any ideas as to what it might be ??
