    13.1 Materion Eraill Pwyllgor Cynllunio: 02/03/2011 Adroddiad gan Bennaeth y Gwasanaeth Cynllunio (NJ) Argymhelliaad: Er Gwybodaeth Rheswm dros Adrodd i’r Pwyllgor: Mae’r Gwasanaeth Cynllunio wedi nodi nifer o geisiadau heb eu penderfynu oedd wedi cronni ac mae’n dymuno eu clirio. Mae rhai yn dyddio’n ôl sawl blwyddyn ac er bod penderfyniad Pwyllgor wedi’i wneud mewn perthynas ag amryw, ni roddwyd rhybuddion penderfyniad allan am nifer o wahanol resymau e.e. cytundebau Adran 106 heb eu harwyddo neu fod angen mwy o wybodaeth ac na roddwyd hynny i’r Cyngor. Mae Erthygl 25 paragraff 3 Gorchymyn Cynllunio Gwlad a Thref (Gweithdrefn Datblygiad Cyffredinol) 1995 yn dweud bod yn rhaid i’r awdurdod cynllunio lleol gadw cofrestr o’r holl geisiadau a wnaed neu a anfonwyd iddo ac sydd heb eu ‘cwblhau’n derfynol’. I bwrpasau paragraff 3, mae paragraff 11 yn dweud bod ‘cwblhau’n derfynol’ yn golygu ceisiadau lle mae’r cyfyngiad amser statudol wedi dod i ben heb i benderfyniad gael ei ryddhau (yn arferol wyth wythnos neu lle cytunwyd yn ysgrifenedig ar estyniad amser) ddiwedd y cyfnod hwnnw, ynghyd â diwedd cyfnod pellach o chwe mis heb i apêl gael ei gwneud. Mewn rhai achosion fe gwblhawyd y datblygiad er na roddwyd caniatâd cynllunio. Mae Adran 171B y Ddeddf yn gosod y cyfyngiadau amser statudol ar gyfer cymryd camau gorfodaeth. Ni ellir cymryd camau gweithredu mewn perthynas â 1) Gweithgareddau adeiladu, peirianyddiaeth, cloddio neu arall ar ddiwedd 4 blynedd yn dechrau gyda’r dyddiad yr oedd y gweithgareddau wedi’u cwblhau’n sylweddol; 2) Toriad mewn rheoliad cynllunio yn ymwneud â newid defnydd adeilad i’w ddefnyddio fel annedd sengl ar ddiwedd 4 blynedd yn dechrau gyda dyddiad y toriad.

  • Companion to the Welsh Settlement in Patagonia
    Companion to the Welsh Settlement in Patagonia Eirionedd A. Baskerville Cymdeithas Cymru-Ariannin/Wales-Argentina Society 2014 1 Copyright © Eirionedd A. Baskerville, 2014 2 Foreword The aim of this Companion is to gather together information from different sources about the life and work of some of the pioneers of the Welsh Settlement in Patagonia. These emigrants left their mark on every aspect of life in the settlement and many of their descendants still maintain its founding principles. The chief sources of the material are articles which appeared in Y Drafod, the Colony’s newspaper that first appeared in 1891 and is still being published today. Important information about the emigrants is to be found in the many books written on the history of the Colony, and for personal information on the families I am greatly indebted to the books of Albina Jones de Zampini. In addition to the census returns for England and Wales, 1841-1911, which are a valuable source for tracing an individual’s roots before emigrating, several websites contain family histories which have been contributed by descendants of the emigrants or other family members. Many of the reports contained in the Companion are based upon research commissioned by CyMAL, the sector of the Welsh Government that advises and supports museums, archives and libraries, and I am grateful for CyMAL’s permission to publish revised versions of those reports. By publishing the Companion on the web it will be possible to add to the information and revise it. Comments regarding corrections or additions are welcome. It is intended to add further reports from time to time on individuals, organizations and subjects relating to the Settlement, and suggestions regarding such additions would be welcomed.

  • Topic Paper 1 Candidate Site Assessment Update
    Topic Paper 1: Candidate Sites Assessment Update 1 1 1 Anglesey & Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan May 2013 Anglesey & Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan 1 May 2013 Candidate Site Assessment Update Background This is one of a range of emerging 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 Candidate Sites Assessment Update. It will explain the background which will help to identify the issues, objectives, options and the preferred strategy for the Preferred Strategy document, which is the first draft of the Plan. The paper will be developed as the preparation of the Deposit Plan (which will be the full Plan) proceeds and a final version will be published at the Deposit stage. The Preferred Strategy document is the first statutory stage 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 Preferred Strategy version of the Plan is also an important opportunity to comment on the strategies that will shape the final Deposit Plan. The Deposit Plan is the second statutory stage of the plan and will allow a further period of formal public consultation. 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.
