    I agree that it looks like Sambucus nigra but seems a bit short as they can grow quite quickly. Can be pruned fairly hard if getting out of hand. Once established the growth can be remarkable. We cut ours down to within 24" of the ground and it grows to well over 6ft each season.

    Agree that's what it looks like to me too. Maybe it hasn't grown very tall as it looks like it's competing with a fairly large Leylandii hedge.
