No No NO you're not getting it are you?
The multiple radar sources can certainly see north of Aylesbury and coverage extends at 2,400ft a considerable distance further north, but the controllers aren't allowed to provide radar service outside the LARS North boundary as portrayed on the official maps. If they could, they would.
Having said that, I often DID provide service north of Aylesbury but I think I got away with it.
