It looks like himalayan balsam ..... a great plant for honey bees.
I can always tell when our bees have been foraging on the balsam as they come back to their hives covered in pollen and looking like little white ghosts.

Himalayan balsam … an incredibly invasive species doing a lot of damage in the environment, especially to riverbanks.

I totally agree.
As pretty as it is, I'd do my utmost to remove it ASAP

It spreads like wildfire … it catapults it’s seeds over 6ft walls … at our last house the chap next door planted one … in three years it was in nearly every garden in the street .., I was constantly pulling seedlings out of our garden. His landlord was livid … it had completely taken over his garden … they had to get landscapers to clear and pave and gravel it before he could let it again.
