I am strongly against option 2D and for developing on anything other than brown field sites. Urban development is more sustainable than developing in rural sites. Option 2D would destroy the intrinsic character and beauty of Renholds' green spaces and its high quality agricultural land (which is against government policy). The infrastructure in Renhold is not adequate to support the some 1000+ new homes proposed and there would be pollution and excessive noise imposed through increased traffic as well as risk of death through speeding. There would be untold environmental damage done that no amount of offsetting could repair.
