Looks like cedar to me, though no idea which variety.
Thanks for your help. I'll put it back out on the public forum in case anyone does know. Its to apply for it to be cut down so need any get it right. Thanks again

In that case: you don't need to be able to accurately ID a tree species, in order to apply for to have it cut down. Here in Camden, when we applied to have an enormous Lleylandii removed, the tree officer from the council came to have a look for himself - I simply wrote 'conifer' and that was enough! The only problem you may encounter is if there is a TPO (tree preservation order) for your tree and if so, that will affect if you can remove it or not.

Hopefully these pictures may be of more help for identification.
Thanks
