    Ash, 
    I'd remove it. They get huge

    Looks like an ash tree sapling to me … Fraxinus excelsior … UK native. 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Definitely not - because it's Ash  ;)

    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    No, not if you want it and have room...but you will need a lot of room! Certainly not a tree to have close to buildings.
    It'll grow fairly fast..8m in 8 to 10 years perhaps?

    Horrible Tree, I have pulled up about 400 seedlings this year!
