You can't, especially now I've quoted it.
It seems that you have a property next door to a HA owned property, possibly with an eyesore of a garden.
If that's right, join the club, as there are probably hundreds of people with the same problem......except many of them will be next door to owner occupiers. How you think everyone will be able to ID you is beyond me!
Your rights are the same as everyone else's. Provided the garden next door is not a health hazard, there's little you can do to force the tenants/owners to do anything; it's theirs to use as they see fit. If you don't like it, grow things that hide it.
Or is this something altogether juicier?0 -

I don't know the content of the OP's initial, unedited post but at a guess it's because they're worried there was enough information there for either the neighbour in question or a potential buyer to ID them.
Luckily for the OP they appear to have made the edit quick enough for google not to have saved a cache page of the unedited post.0 -

Nothing in the post could have revealed the OPs ID. The HA wasn't named. There was no indication of where in the UK the OP lives. No clue as to whether the HA tenant is male or female. A couple, a singleton, a family etc. I presume the OPs real name isn't Mr/Miss LittlePickleHead so they can't be identified that way. The OP didn't imply whether or not they were selling the property. Very odd.
The gist of the post was the next door garden is overgrown. Knotweed is now on OPs land. HA said that it was being treated but the OPs own survey indicates no evidence of treatment. HA now washing hands of it saying it is down to the tenant to resolve. OP has consulted lawyers who will take on case.0 -

Thank you.
The law is clear it's an offence to allow the spread of knotweed onto another's land, and I'd be surprised if the HA could entirely escape responsibility here. However, proving where it originated might be more difficult.0
