No
I can give you a long list of trees that it isn't but I'm hoping I can get the right answer before it descends into a Python like farce

Need a close up of one of the leaves, that's a give away.

Bit hard to tell from that photo, but my guess is Koelreuteria paniculata.
Not convinced it is a tree. looks like it might be a very large Mahonia - which is a shrub. This one may have been allowed to grow on. But as said - need to see the leaves (and flowers) a little more closely. Not a very pretty thing is it!! https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=mahonia&client=firefox-a&hs=Czw&rls=org.mozilla:en-US

A good shout! Does it give pink/bronze fruit late summer/autumn?
That is a good call actually!

Stunning autumn colour

I look nothing like him!
My guess too.
There's a stunning one in the Royal Pavilion Gardens, in the south facing border of the west lawn.

Will show her this lot tonight when she gets home as she can't log in where she is ... she did say this
No fruits and loses leaves in Autumn, late to go into leaf in Spring. Has yellow mimosa type flower pinnacles, and has long serrated leaf bracts
She'll be delighted if identified!!

This is Mrs Rugrat?!....thanks all for the suggestion, whilst its not exactly as described for a Koelrutia, it's the closest yet and it may be because its growing in less than ideal spot as we don't get fruits or very coloured autumn foliage. Based on your suggestions even found a YouTube film on it! ...so do think it is a form of Koelrutia, thanks again Tree Spotters.

The most curious thing..
Is it an enormous cannabis plant?
