What does 'notifiable' mean??

We have that at my place of work..  :(

It means you have a duty to report its presence. You should do this to your council and they should be interested, sadly from replies here they aren't always so.

To be really sure, send pic to, say, RHS. Notify your council whether they help or not, and get it in writing. Whatever it is, try injecting glyphosate if you've only a bit and see what happens.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

It was killed off on our site by injections of neat glyphosate.  Just make sure you mark the stems you've done with spray paint or similar, or you'll lose track!
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

I too have killed knotweed by snapping the stems & filling the hollow stems with systemic weedkiller, took a few goes though.

Injecting the living plant sounds wiser.
