LEGAL RESPONSIBILITIES

Many home and landowners are not aware of their legal obligations if they have Non-Native Invasive Plants on the property or land.

Allowing the spread of these from your land onto adjacent landowners property can be regarded as a private nuisance under UK Law.

If reasonable steps are not taken to control and eradicate the non-native plants, you could be taken to court.

These weeds flourish when disturbed, and any poor attempt to remove it will result in the plant spreading.
