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 via 3 very narrow and overly congested routes around the High Street. One of these routes is directly past the local JMI school, where hundreds of children and parents are congregated at exactly the peak times most of the additional car journeys will be taking place.
