Could I suggest the possibility of Ash. We have three massive Ash and a huge Sycamore and every year I remove many thousands of these saplings. I've always assumed they were Ash but then again as my wife often says I've never been right about anything ever. Luv Dave
Tree seedling and not ash (we get those here) ... after the pair of seed leaves, the leaves on an ash seedling are like miniature ash tree leaves. I'll go with sycamore as well ... like these

Hi all. Apologies for the delayed response and many thanks for all the input!
I am opening myself up to be suitably shot down here but, having been tidying one of the banks on our driveway and finding a very readily spreading hypericum, with lots of new growth, I feel I've found a perfect match. The plant is rampant at the front of my neighbours front garden and presented a very impressive bloom this year, so I guess it conspired with the wind at some stage to bless us with its offspring. I'll send a photo of the plant and its young growth shortly.
I do hope I've got this right and I apologise for wasting peoples time (and possibly coming accross as arrogant :-| ).
Here are the promised pictures of the spreading hypericum (1) and its young growth (2&3) . .... although I think the bullets of the expert marksmen have returned my over-eager feet to the ground :-) A tree seedling - probably sycamore - it is! I think I'll pot one on and watch it grow and will report back when it starts to reveal itself more.
