Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) is a non-native invasive plant that appears in spring and can grow by up to 10cm a day, producing white flowers around September or October time. Japanese knotweed removal is therefore vital to stop the spread of this aggressive plant. Japanese knotweed is a serious problem for developers and their professional advisors, for contractors, home owners and landlords. What does the law say about Japanese knotweed removal? Japanese knotweed and the soil it infests is classified as a controlled waste if it is being taken off site. This means it is subject to all waste legislation under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 makes it a criminal offence to plant or otherwise cause Japanese knotweed to grow in the "wild".
