Grŵp Cynefin has launched an innovative housing We’re proud to collaborate with others to meet the specific needs of partnership with Gwynedd Council, the Local Homes communities across North Wales. Two other schemes that we set up and run for the benefit of the Scheme, to deliver affordable homes for young people community, HWB Dinbych and Canolfan Fenter Congl Meinciau, have in rural Gwynedd. In 2016, we helped to secure a £1.4m Big Lottery Fund grant to create significantly increased occupancy rates and income streams this year. a community asset and help regenerate a rural area. This improves the long-term sustainability of the schemes. A nine-property development at Mynytho, Gwynedd, was the first scheme developed by the partnership. The funding will transform a Grade 2 listed former railway shed at Meliden, Denbighshire, into a heritage centre and café. Whilst the new properties in the village have an open market value of £205,000 to £230,000, average local salaries remain low at around £22,000, meaning that young local families are often priced out of the market. Thanks to the funding provided by the scheme, Grŵp Cynefin are able to sell the properties through shared equity, with purchasers owning a minimum of 50% and maximum 80% share of the property. When owners move on, they will sell their share back to Grŵp Cynefin or to a nominated person, ensuring that the properties remain affordable in the future. Under the partnership, future developments will be planned according to local housing need, with new homes in Penygroes, Waunfawr, Bethesda and Llanuwchllyn being considered for the scheme.

Overview This report was initiated following the award of a small grant by the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol to Dr Simon Brooks, Associate Professor in the School of Management at Swansea University, to scrutinise policy on second homes in Wales and Cornwall. The original aim was to prepare a brief report focussing on the comparison between public policy solutions based on taxation policy (Wales) and planning policy (Cornwall). However, due to the increasing interest in this subject area, the Welsh Government’s Minister for Mental Health, Well-being and Welsh Language asked if the research could be expanded in order to scrutinise some wider issues regarding second homes and to make policy recommendations.

    4.04.0 ANAN ASSESSMENTASSESSMENT OFOF THETHE AREAAREA ANDAND ITSITS RESOURCESRESOURCES 22 4.0 AN ASSESSMENT OF THE AREA AND ITS RESOURCES 4.1 Introduction 4.1.1 This section of the Management Plan considers the current condition of special qualities in Llñn’s AONB. It also includes an assessment of the economy which includes agriculture, fishing, other rural enterprises and tourism. A comprehensive assessment of resources is an essential part of the Management Plan. This will measure any changes in the unique attributes of the area and the success of the Management Plan. 4.1.2 Ideally, a Management Plan should include an assessment of all the qualities or resources according to “their nature, character, quality, extent and condition” (AONB Management Plans CCW, 2001). However, the ability to undertake detailed analysis is often hampered by lack of resources and information about many of these qualities. The main problem in obtaining detailed information about the extent and condition of resources within the Llñn AONB were as follows: ● lack of information – in terms of measuring the resource and/or its condition, ● lack of specific information for the AONB, ● no up to date information, ● resources that are difficult to measure e.g. scenery, culture. 4.1.3 The most up to date information that was available was used for the assessment and any gaps in information are noted. The identification of gaps in information is an important part of the Management Plan and may be adopted as a future aim or action in the Plan’s Action Programme. 4.1.4 This Management Plan seeks to identify, define and assess the special qualities of the area as effectively as possible under the circumstances.

Introduction The concept of the Historic Environment is wide ranging and includes all aspects of human influence from pre-historic times up to the present time. It therefore includes archaeological relics, remains of ancient settlements, historic buildings and structures, farms and field patterns, old quarries and works and also parks and gardens. The effect of human habitation has made a significant impact upon the landscape of Llŷn and how the area looks today. Over the centuries various generations and groups of people have influenced the landscape to create a complex, but interesting historic environment which has a special character and sense of place. In Llŷn there are significant numbers of Iron Age hillforts, Meini Hirion (“standing stones”), Cromlechs, Historic field boundaries, wells and ancient churches. Also the remains of granite quarries and ore mines are evident on the landscape while small villages, rural cottages and historic farm houses are features of the area. Together, all these elements create a .. which gives Penrhyn Llŷn an unique character. Because there hasn’t been much development in the area a large many historic remains have survived. Many cromlechs and standing stones can still be seen today in their original locations and features such as milestone are also common along the rural lanes.
