Barriers to Development
Weeds, wildlife and other worries
From the good – slow worms and great crested newts… to the bad – unexploded WWII bombs… to the downright ugly – Japanese Knotweed and other invasive weeds – any number of silent obstacles may be lurking below ground, or scurrying around on top of it.
But such obstacles are seldom insurmountable. This publication will help you to understand the extent of the barriers you may face, and to manage them better.
