I came across this whitebeam sapling yesterday, but on second

Whitebeam doesn't have cut leaves like on the photo. I'd go with
Christina's Service Tree suggestion but I'm not sure which variety it
could be.

I am reasonably sure it's ******* Service Tree. Everything about the leaf
fits and the colour of the shoot is right.
I'm not an expert, though, could easily be wrong ;-)
