Hello everyone,
a Consultant has said, 'treatment of JKW strands has already been undertaken, but the potential for re-growth remains. If any strands are identified within Planning boundaries on-site during the earthworks, then the Contractor shall undertake further treatment'.
My problem is that the JKW is extremely prominent in areas at river's edge and adjacent to the housing development site. Although initial treatment may appear to have removed 'strands' of JKW, if an on-going programme of eradication is not undertaken throughout development and after, then the adjacent/ close by JKW 'strands' will (re)-invade the site and could cause damage to property or services.
Should I be asking for long-term monitoring and treatment as part of development, or is the Developer only obliged to show apparent eradication at the point of development and sale?
Many thanks,
Clare
