JAPANESE KNOTWEED - LEGAL IMPLICATIONS

If there is Japanese Knotweed growing on your property, this is not in itself a violation of any legislation. However, there is now legislation in place for the neglect of dealing with Japanese Knotweed, i.e. penalties for allowing it to spread. The key question that needs to be asked is where is the Japanese Knotweed growing as the legislation varies as to whether it is in urban or rural areas.
