Full text:

Due the already over congested B197 at peak times during weekdays the suggestion to introduce 200 house on this site (potential 200 plus cars) and 600 houses in Knebworth generally (600 plus cars). The area is unsafe and unsound as a location for additional Housing. The strain will push the local community infrastructure (Doctors, Schooling and Railway Station) beyond breaking point.

Additionally, the only access point to this location is under or over very narrow railway bridges, which already poses a road safety risk for pedestrians.
