He also thanked Philip Care for the invitation to Sharp and for the tour of manufacturing facilities and Solar Energy centre, that followed the meeting. Apologies were received from the following individuals & organisations: Jon Pinnington Cyngor Ynys Mon Chris Gardiner BI-DS Isobel Garner Wrexham Howard Tothill BI-MS Della Pritchard & team WAG - IBW John Parkes WIN Colin Morris Cyngor Gwynedd Gwion Williams Innovation Manager Nia Mon Menter a Busnes Jeff Williams-Jones HRD advisor Sion Hughes Menter a Busnes / Ken Toop & Tony SEMTA LSDP Leahy Dave Johnson WAG Bob Hughes HRD advisor Celia Williams Construction Skills Samantha Williams WAG - RM Maldwyn Williiams Venture Wales Cheryl Whitaker WAG –RM Dylan Williams Cyngor Ynys Mon Ray Thomas HRD advisor Eurwyn Edwards Grwp Llandrillo Joyce Sneddon Grwp Llandrillo Richard Day Glyndwr University Barrie Lee NHS Note – the meeting clashed with the launch of the National Composites Centre, which some members attended. Introduction & Overview The theme of the meeting was innovation in local solar PV technology and supply chain developments. It is also of note that the announcement for the Economic renewal programme is due on 5 July, and that this may affect a wide range of programmes, subsequent to the meeting. Presentation – Sharp Philip Care Philip is the head of marketing for Sharp at Wrexham. The factory makes ‘European solutions’ for European markets –. His presentation can be downloaded from BIC Innovation’s website . There is additional information at www.sharpmanufacturing.co.uk of particular note for the attendees is: • The ‘Ecohouse’ shop – sells all Sharp products that have been refurbished on site. • The solar education centre, which is used by schools and universities, is available for public visits by pre-booking via web. • There are new products, eg plasma cluster ion products available for new markets. There was an extensive discussion through the presentation, the key points of which were: • The focus is on high value products; as a local manufacturer they want to offer equal opportunities for South, Mid and North Wales for solar PV. • Sharp are active in the ‘Arbed’ project (see previous meeting minutes 24 March & Feb 10), and there is a focus on the 5 regeneration areas across Wales. • There are North Wales projects (Energy Island, Mon a Menai) that can benefit from a close relationship with the PV centre & local manufacture clearly reduces ‘carbon foot print’ • Low energy / PV powered lighting systems newly introduced by Wrexham Council on Whitegate industrial estate – and there is possible development of replacement lighting heads for the Council. • There are opportunities to develop the local supply chain links, especially where new products (eg lighting systems) are being introduced, as volumes are low and should build steadily. • It is harder to find local manufacturing capabilities to ‘instantly’ support high levels of production demand – although this is possible for new projects where volumes are lower as routes to market are still being developed (eg solar amenity lighting and 60W PV modules) – see the Supply Chain presentation. There was a natural lead in to the discussion on supply chains at a local & regional level to address a variety of issues. The discussion was complemented by a subsequent tour of both the manufacturing facilities and solar education centre. The meeting ended with Huw’s thanks for an inspiring presentation of Sharp’s capabilities and approach to innovation. Presentation – Supply Chains Paul Byard Paul is Head of External Affairs for the EEF – the Manufacturers Organisation. Paul explained that the presentation set a context based on the recession as a ‘starting point’. Events of the last few years had provided an opportunity to re-evaluate the way supply chains respond to fluctuating demand and the way stock is moved around the world. The importance of Total Acquisition Costs was re-iterated, along with strategies such as dual (local and low cost) sourcing. His presentation can be downloaded from BIC Innovation’s website. There was an extensive discussion following the presentation, the key points of which were: • Traditional ‘lean’ only addresses 5-15% of cost ( ie labour) • There are greater economies to be made in both supply chain and environmental (energy) areas. • Air freight is often used to manage risk in ‘low cost country’ supply chains. • Good design is key to reducing product cost and meeting customer requirements • Local supply chains have an innovation advantage. • A key question is ‘what is the rate of innovation?’ and how sustainable is it in any one company – and how can this be benchmarked. • The Manufacturing Strategy for Wales is delayed due to the Economic Renewal programme (ERP). • Implementing changes in small companies is difficult, due to a lack of ‘in house’ resource & tackling supply chain issues requires both time and understanding. o The basis is a cultural attitude shift o There are a plethora of schemes that might help companies – so a challenge to management is identifying the right one(s). o Business Innovation (with Design, Manufacturing, IP, Commercialisation & Innovation strands) is an excellent ‘one stop shop’ for manufacturers – complemented by other schemes (eg Skills for Growth & Workforce Development from DCELLS). • Aligning skills growth in companies with the growth strategy and innovation is key element for companies to tackle. Round the table discussion: Brief updates & news Sasha Davies – Cygnor Ynys Mon There is a small Arbed project in Llangefni, which includes Solar panels. There is clearly an opportunity with the Mon a Menai and Energy Island projects to invigorate the ‘energy’ agenda; Mon Menai is focussing on the Low Carbon economy. Key issues are cultural change for users and the availability of demonstrator projects. This needs some detailed actions, with a meeting needed with Sharp. Jan Milburn – Magnox There is a need to move from discussion to action; it is clear that the vision of large scale energy efficiency is fundamental – along with the link to driving down the carbon footprint of north Wales. A locally based global leader, like Sharp, is key to deploying expertise, pilot demonstrators and the education centre is a great resource for changing culture. We will contact Sharp to arrange a meeting. Additionally we would like to talk to Glyndwr and Bangor Universities regarding research in energy projects. Gareth Hughes – WAG Relationship Manager The ProAct programme is ending and there is a move to ‘Skills for Growth’, as the successor programme. Much depends now on the outcome of the Economic Renewal programme (ERP). Graham Smith – Glyndwr University (Electrical Engineering) The Higher National Diplomas available through the franchise to Coleg Menai provide an essential stepping stone to the Foundation Degree in nuclear power generation. The follow on development is a BEng in renewable energy, to provide a pathway for students embarking on the diploma courses. Peter Excell – Glyndwr University (Associate Dean, University Institute for Arts, Science and Technology, and Academic Leader Electrical Engineering & Computer Science) Peter highlighted the development path towards an MSc in renewables, along with work developing it with a wind-power company, using support from the ‘Access to Masters’ scheme. He raised questions regarding approaches to energy storage and smart grids – along with the need to engage consumers on a ‘one stop shop’ basis for renewables. More information on a wide variety of activities at Glyndwr is contained in the previous minutes (of 26 May 2010, downloadable from www.bic-innovation.com ) . Suzanne Riley – Glyndwr Innovations (Commercial Manager) Suzanne highlighted the volume of businesses in the area that had received ProAct funding - the programme ended on 30 th June to be replaced by New Skills Wales. Suzanne requested that she may have some good case studies that she could take into businesses to help them buy into the new way of Supply Change Management.

  • Zones of Influence
    Eryri Local Development Plan Background Paper 21 Zones of Influence May 2017 Background Paper 21: Zones of Influence – May 2017 Introduction The Authority has identified eight ‘Zones of influence’ which are within and straddle the National Park. These areas have similar characteristics and have strong community links. The work on the Zones of Influence draws on a wide range of surveys and related national, regional and local plans and strategies discussed in the Spatial Development Strategy Background Paper. The paper identifies key centres within each zone of influence and recognises the influences of key centres outside the Park to inform the Spatial Development Strategy. The paper identifies key transport routes, key employment areas, and further education and key services for each zone. The paper discusses the main issues for each zone individually, the implications for the Local Development Plan and how the issues are addressed in the Plan. 2 Background Paper 21: Zones of Influence – May 2017 1.1. BALA ZONE OF INFLUENCE 3 Background Paper 21: Zones of Influence – May 2017 What’s it like now? 1.2. This zone covers Penllyn rural hinterland covering the community councils of Llanuwchllyn, Llandderfel, Llangywer, Llanycil and Bala and has a population of 4,362 according to the 2011 Census. The landscape is rural in character with scattered farmsteads and small villages. The zone includes Llyn Tegid (the largest natural lake in Wales), Llyn Celyn, Arenig Fawr and parts of the Aran Fawddwy. The main service centre for the area is the market town of Bala. Penllyn has strong traditions based on the Welsh language and culture.

  • Community Infrastructure 13
    Background Paper 13: Community Infrastructure 13 February Gwynedd & Môn Joint Local Development Plan 2015 [Type text] Topic Paper 13: Infrastructure Background This is one of a range of topic papers prepared to offer more detailed information and explain the approach of the Plan to different topics and issues affecting the Joint Local Development Plan Area. This paper will look specifically at community infrastructure. It will explain the background which will help to identify the issues, objectives and options for the Deposit Plan. The Deposit Plan is the second statutory stage in the preparation of the Joint Local Development Plan (JLDP). The JLDP shapes the future growth of communities in the Joint Local Development Plan Area and will set out the policies and land allocations against which planning applications will be assessed. The Deposit Plan will be submitted to the Welsh Government, which will appoint an independent inspector to assess the soundness of the Plan in the Examination in Public. If the inspector considers the Plan to be sound it will be recommended for adoption. When adopted the JLDP will supersede the Gwynedd Unitary Development Plan (2009) for the Gwynedd Local Planning Authority Area and the Gwynedd Structure Plan (1993) and Ynys Môn Local Plan (1996) for the Ynys Môn Local Planning Authority. This topic paper can be read in isolation or in conjunction with the other Topic Papers and Background Papers that have been prepared to give a full picture the Joint Local Development Plan Area. You may refer to the Topic Paper as a basis for making comments about the Deposit Plan.
