FAQ - P35 in Warwickshire
My architect or developer says I need Japanese Knotweed identification and removal — what is it?
It is a professional plan that identifies knotweed on your Warwickshire property and sets out safe removal or containment measures. This ensures your development meets legal requirements and prevents future property damage.
Do I always need a site survey before submitting a removal plan?
Yes. A thorough survey is required to map the extent of knotweed and plan safe eradication or containment measures.
Can small properties or extensions be affected?
Yes. Even minor developments may require a removal plan if knotweed is present. Local councils in Warwickshire can impose conditions to protect neighbouring properties and ensure safe development.
If I have planning permission in Staffordshire, why am I now being asked for a Japanese Knotweed plan?
This typically means the site has confirmed or suspected knotweed, and the local council requires evidence that it will be safely managed. Construction or development may be delayed until the plan is approved.
Applicable councils in Warwickshire include:

How long does it take to prepare a Japanese Knotweed removal plan in Staffordshire
Most plans can be prepared within 10 working days, depending on the size and complexity of the site. Larger or phased developments may require additional time.
Is a removal plan different from a site survey?
Yes. The survey identifies and maps the knotweed, while the removal plan details how it will be safely eradicated, managed, and monitored over time
