What is this plant growing in my hedge?

Hi there,

This plant is growing very quickly in our hedge. The stems are thick and woody, and the leaves large. No flowers blossoming yet. I believe it’s stifling the growth of the hedge, and makes up at least 50% of the hedge itself. We’re located on the north west of England, UK. Any ideas?

Also, you may want to contact a local nursery or plant authority such as a university horticulture department to help ID this plant.
