Val Lloyd: Will the Minister make a statement on the impact of his policies on the constituency of Swansea East? (WAQ49439) Alun Pugh: My policies for promoting culture, Welsh language and sport are benefiting people in all parts of Wales, including those in your constituency. For example: • We are making steady progress in our effort to reach the targets set within Climbing Higher. The Sports Council for Wales report that since 2002-03 adult physical activity levels have increased by an impressive 4 per cent, showing the evidence that our range of programmes is already beginning to make a difference. In 2006-07, the Sports Council for Wales, via the Community Chest, has directed funding of over £13,000 to 20 projects for the local development of sport in Swansea East; • Through Cadw, the Assembly Government has offered approx £25,000 in grant to help restore and repair some of Wales’s most important historic buildings in the Swansea East constituency, including Henlyn Isaf in Ystradgynlais; • Through CyMAL, the Welsh Assembly Government supported local museums, archives and libraries in Swansea, which serves Swansea East, by allocating some £85,000 in 2005-06 and £100,000 in 2006-07 in the following projects: CyMAL Grants in Swansea 2005-06 Grants Claimed 2006-07 Grants Allocated Museums £25,113.45 £19,080.36 Archives £9,614.31 £2,960.00 @ Your Library £3,965.70 £42,476.00 Inspiring learning £46,175.27 £36,331.63 Total £84,868.73 £100,847.99 • The City and County of Swansea Council is currently developing an arts strategy with support of the Arts Council of Wales. This will involve a public event in April to take forward the arts in Swansea, including Swansea East; • The Swansea National Eisteddfod last year was extremely successful and attracted over 155,000 including many young people from Communities First areas. It is important to recognise the contribution the Eisteddfod makes to the vitality of Welsh language in the communities it visits. A report on the impact of the 2006 Swansea Eisteddfod showed that 80 per cent of learners agreed that the Eisteddfod had inspired them to learn more about Welsh culture. I was also interested to note in the same report that last year’s Swansea Eisteddfod had injected £6 million into the local economy. Questions to the Minister for Enterprise, Innovation and Networks Nick Bourne: Will the Minister provide a list of the overseas visits undertaken on Assembly business in 2006, together with the cost of each visit?

Unfortunately, due to an administrative error, my response to your answer was delayed and I apologise for this. You asked what discussions or correspondence I have had with Westminster colleagues in the last 12 months regarding the issue of nuclear power in Wales.

  • Planning & Development Committee 3 December 2020
    PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE 3 DECEMBER 2020 REPORT OF: DIRECTOR PROSPERITY AND DEVELOPMENT PURPOSE OF THE REPORT Members are asked to determine the planning application outlined below: APPLICATION NO: 20/0464/10 (GW) APPLICANT: WDL Homes Ltd DEVELOPMENT: Proposed residential development and associated works. LOCATION: LAND AT COLEG Y CYMOEDD, CWMDARE ROAD, ABERDARE DATE REGISTERED: 09/11/2020 ELECTORAL DIVISION: Aberdare West/Llwydcoed RECOMMENDATION: REFUSE REASONS: The development site is outside the settlement boundary identified in the Rhondda Cynon Taf Local Development Plan (LDP). Residential development is not supported by policy in such locations and no suitable justification, as an exception to the relevant policy, has been submitted. The benefits of providing the proposed dwellings and contributions for improved play facilities and education would not outweigh the conflict with policy and therefore, on balance, the application is recommended for refusal. As such the proposal would conflict with Policies AW1, AW2 and NSA12. REASON APPLICATION REPORTED TO COMMITTEE The application is reported to the Committee for final determination as it proposes 5 or more dwellings. APPLICATION DETAILS Full planning permission is sought for 7 dwellings at the application site. The proposal would essentially form an extension to a development of 87 dwellings already permitted at the former Coleg y Cymoedd site in Cwmdare (and currently under construction). The new dwellings would be located on part of the land that was allocated for Public Open Space as part of the previous scheme and would be accessed from the roads within that development, leading from Cwmdare Road. The 7 dwellings would be situated to the east of the formal playground area that would be provided for the development currently under construction.
