FAQ - P35 in Worcestershire
My architect or developer says I need Japanese Knotweed identification and removal — what is it?
It is a professional plan that identifies knotweed and outlines safe removal or containment measures. The plan ensures your Worcestershire development meets legal requirements and protects properties from future damage.
Do I always need a site survey before submitting a removal plan?
Yes. A detailed survey is essential to accurately map knotweed infestations and prepare a safe removal or containment plan.
Can small properties or extensions be affected?
Yes. Even minor developments may need a removal plan if knotweed is present. Local authorities can impose conditions to protect neighbouring properties and ensure safe development.
If I have planning permission in Worcestershire, why am I now being asked for a Japanese Knotweed plan?
This usually means your site has confirmed or suspected knotweed, and the council requires evidence that it will be safely managed. Until a plan is approved, construction may be delayed.

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