What is Japanese Knotweed ?
Japanese knotweed is an invasive plant species that spreads rapidly and can cause significant damage to properties and landscapes. Often taking root in gardens, driveways, building foundations, and commercial sites, knotweed is difficult to eradicate without professional intervention. For business and landowners, its presence can have serious financial and operational consequences, especially if development work is planned.
How It Looks in Spring
As we enter early spring, Japanese knotweed begins to emerge from winter dormancy. It starts with red or purple shoots breaking through the soil, which quickly develop into thick, bamboo-like canes. The leaves are shield-shaped, bright green, and appear in a zigzag pattern along the stem. Landowners and developers should inspect sites for these early signs, as early detection is crucial to preventing project delays.
Why It’s a Problem
For business owners and developers, Japanese knotweed can halt construction projects, leading to costly delays and compliance issues. Many commercial site clearances are put on hold if knotweed is present, and local authorities may require a professional management plan before any works can proceed. Left unchecked, knotweed can damage infrastructure, invade neighbouring properties, and significantly devalue land.
Lenders often refuse financing on land or properties affected by knotweed without a treatment plan in place, making it essential for commercial property owners to act swiftly. Under UK law, landowners have a responsibility to prevent the spread of knotweed.
