It is growing very well and spreading at a rapid rate but they are unsure if they should allow it to! Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks

Looks like Macleaya cordata. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=macleaya&um=1&hl=en&biw=1536&bih=776&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=PPFOUNakA4m70QXnpIG4Bw#um=1&hl=en&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=macleaya+cordata&oq=macleaya+cordata&gs_l=img.1.0.0j0i24l4.1957.5060.1.8204.8.2.0.6.6.1.538.634.1j5-1.2.0...0.0...1c.1.Nid5qUEbaBw&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=82d66539a02150e9&biw=1152&bih=555 . http://www.shootgardening.co.uk/plant/macleaya-cordata
