- The knotweed plant or ground containing any part of the plant is classed as controlled waste if removed from site under the Environmental Protection Act 1990
- Japanese knotweed is an invasive and resilient weed
- The rhizomes and roots extend deep into the ground and can re-emerge many years after treatment
- If left to grow and spread, it has the potential to cause damage to the hard landscaping and buildings or structures
- If the property is for sale the buyer’s mortgage lender will want evidence that there is a fully funded 10 Year Knotweed Management Plan (KMP) in place
