Understanding the challenges of Japanese knotweed in Bromley

Japanese knotweed poses several challenges, including potential structural damage and decreased property value. Its extensive rhizome system can reach depths of 1.5 meters and spread up to 3 meters wide, leading to new plant growth and impacting local wildlife.

The presence of Japanese knotweed can also halt property transactions until a professional treatment plan is established. Lenders are often cautious if knotweed is present, even if it’s on adjacent land. With our expertise, you can navigate these challenges effectively.

How to spot Japanese knotweed in Bromley

During the summer months, Japanese knotweed is easily identifiable by its green, bamboo-like stems adorned with pink-red speckles, and shield-shaped leaves. Its roots are thick and have an orange-yellow hue. Typically growing in clumps, the plant can reach heights of up to 3 meters and produces creamy-white flowers towards the end of summer.

In winter, the plant becomes dormant, leaving behind tall brown canes from dead plants, which are poised for new growth in the spring.

Japanese knotweed legislation

While it is not illegal to have Japanese knotweed on your property as long as it is controlled and not spreading to surrounding areas, allowing it to proliferate can result in a Community Protection Notice. This notice may require you to take action within a specified timeframe, leading to fines or prosecution if ignored.

With our expert guidance, you will be well-informed about your rights and responsibilities concerning the management of this invasive plant.

If you find Japanese knotweed on your property and it is not originating from your premises, you can report it to Bromley Council, who can advise on necessary actions, or simply call our expert team at 020 8769 7321 for assistance.
