6.2 A260152: Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru

Nid oedd unrhyw aelodau o’r cyhoedd yn bresennol.

There were no members of the public present.

Yn gyffredinol, mae’r Cyngor yn croesawu’r datblygiad, yn enwedig blaen y siop draddodiadol, fodd bynnag, rydym yn nodi’r pryderon canlynol:

·         Mae diffyg gwybodaeth am y deunydd i’w ddefnyddio ar gyfer ffenestri yng nghefn yr adeilad. Gan eu bod o fewn Ardal Gadwraeth Aberystwyth, dylai ffenestri fod o arddull ffenestr sash pren draddodiadol.

·         Ystyrir bod defnyddio her fforddiadwyedd yn ffordd amhriodol o osgoi’r gofyniad i ddarparu tai fforddiadwy.

·         Nid yw arwynebedd llawr mewnol pedwar allan o’r chwe annedd arfaethedig yn bodloni’r argymhellion Arwynebedd Mewnol Gros (llawr) (GIA) a nodir yng Ngofynion Ansawdd Datblygu Cymru 2021 Llywodraeth Cymru.

Os caiff y cais ei gymeradwyo er gwaethaf ein pryderon uchod, gofynnwn am osod amod ar y tai yn eu hatal rhag cael eu defnyddio fel ail gartrefi neu lety gwyliau.

The Council generally welcomes the development, especially of the traditional shop frontage, however we note the following concerns:

·         There is a lack of information on the material to be used for windows at the rear of the building. Being within the Aberystwyth Conservation Area, windows should be of a traditional timber sash window style.

·         The use of an affordability challenge is considered an inappropriate means of avoiding the requirement to provide affordable housing.

·         The internal floor area of four out of the six proposed dwellings does not meet the Gross Internal (floor) Area (GIA) recommendations set out in the Welsh Government’s Welsh Development Quality Requirements 2021.

Should the application be approved despite our concerns above, we request that a condition is placed on the residences preventing them from being used as second homes or holiday accommodation.

Respond

Datganodd y Cyng. Jeff Smith fuddiant personol a rhagfarnllyd, a gadawodd y cyfarfod am hyd yr eitem.

Gadawodd y Cyng. Jeff Smith y Gadair, ac yn absenoldeb y Cadeirydd a’r Is-gadeirydd PENDERFYNWYD y dylai’r Cyng. Talat Chaudhri gadeirio’r eitem..

Mae gan y Cyngor DIM GWRTHWYNEBIAD, fodd bynnag ni allwn, o’r manylion yn y cais, gweld rheswm dros y gostyngiad o ddau i dri drws; byddem yn gwerthfawrogi esboniad o’r rheswm dros y newid hwn, a chadarnhad bod y clo aer yn dal yn ddigonol at ddibenion diogelwch tân.

Cllr. Jeff Smith declared a personal and prejudicial interest, and left the meeting for the duration of the item.

Cllr. Jeff Smith vacated the Chair, and in the absence of the Chair and Vice-Chair it was RESOLVED for Cllr. Talat Chaudhri to chair the item.

The Council has NO OBJECTION, however we cannot, from the details in the application, determine the reason for the reduction from two to three doors; we would appreciate an explanation of the reason for this change, and confirmation that the airlock doorway is still sufficient for fire safety purposes.

Respond

Ail-ymunodd y Cyng. Jeff Smith â’r cyfarfod, a chymerodd y Gadair..

Yn gyffredinol, mae’r Cyngor yn croesawu datblygiad tai uwchben eiddo masnachol yng nghanol y dref, fodd bynnag, rydym yn GWRTHWYNEBU oherwydd y diffyg cyflwyniad dimensiynau ac arwynebedd llawr mewnol gyda’r cais. Nodwn ymhellach:

·         Mae diffyg gwybodaeth am y deunydd i’w ddefnyddio ar gyfer ffenestri. Gan eu bod o fewn Ardal Gadwraeth Aberystwyth, dylai ffenestri fod o arddull ffenestr sash pren draddodiadol.

·         Ystyrir bod defnyddio her fforddiadwyedd yn ffordd amhriodol o osgoi’r gofyniad i ddarparu tai fforddiadwy.

·         Dylid gwneud darpariaeth ar gyfer storio beiciau.

Os caiff y cais ei gymeradwyo er gwaethaf ein pryderon uchod, gofynnwn am osod amod ar y tai yn eu hatal rhag cael eu defnyddio fel ail gartrefi neu lety gwyliau.

Cllr. Jeff Smith re-joined the meeting, and took the Chair.

The Council generally welcomes the development of residences above commercial premises in the town centre, however OBJECTS due to the lack of dimensions and internal floor area being presented with the application. We further note:

·         There is a lack of information on the material to be used for windows. Being within the Aberystwyth Conservation Area, windows should be of a traditional timber sash window style.

·         The use of an affordability challenge is considered an inappropriate means of avoiding the requirement to provide affordable housing.

·         Provision should be made for the storage of bicycles.

Should the application be approved despite our concerns above, we request that a condition is placed on the residences preventing them from being used as second homes or holiday accommodation.

Respond

Mae’r Cyngor yn GWRTHWYNEBU’N GRYF i’r cais, ar yr un sail â’r cais blaenorol A250792. Byddai sgrin ddwy ochr yn cynhyrchu mwy o lygredd golau.

Mae’r Cyngor Tref yn GWRTHWYNEBU oherwydd yr effaith weledol ar yr adeilad rhestredig, gan nodi bod y gosodiadau arfaethedig yn amhriodol ar gyfer adeilad rhestredig hanesyddol.

Os caiff y cais ei gymeradwyo, dylid gosod amod i sicrhau bod unrhyw hysbysebu yn ddwyieithog, gyda blaenoriaeth yn cael ei roi i’r iaith Gymraeg.

The Council STRONGLY OBJECTS to the application, on the same basis as the previous application A250792. A dual sided screen would generate more light pollution.

The Town Council OBJECTS due to the visual impact on the listed building, noting that the proposed installations are inappropriate for an historic listed building.

Should the application be approved, a condition should be placed to ensure that any advertising be bilingual, with priority given to the Welsh language.

Mae gan y Cyngor DIM GWRTHWYNEBIAD ac rydym yn croesawu’r defnydd o’r iaith Gymraeg. Nodwn y camgymeriad sillafu canlynol ar y lluniadau a ddarparwyd: Huanwasanaeth

The Council has NO OBJECTION and welcomes the use of the Welsh language. We note the following spelling mistake on the drawings provided: Huanwasanaeth

Respond

A260179: Three, 3 Rhodfa’r Gogledd

A260181: Uned 3, Yr Hen Ysgol Gymraeg

A260189: 30 Y Stryd Fawr

Nid oedd digon o amser i geisiadau A260179 ac A260181 gael eu hystyried gan y Cyngor Llawn, felly PENDERFYNWYD i ymateb iddynt yn y cyfarfod hwn o dan eitem 6. Ystyried ceisiadau cynllunio.

Derbyniwyd cais A260189 yn hwyrach na’r ddau gais arall, ac roedd ganddo ddigon o amser i gael ei ystyried gan y Cyngor Llawn.

A260179: Three, 3 Rhodfa’r Gogledd

A260181: Unit 3, Yr Hen Ysgol Gymraeg

A260189: 30 Y Stryd Fawr

There was not sufficient time for applications A260179 and A260181 to be considered by the Full Council, therefore it was RESOLVED for them to be responded to by this meeting under item 6. To consider planning applications.

Application A260189 had been received later than the other two applications, and had sufficient time to be considered by the Full Council.

Mae gan y Cyngor DIM GWRTHWYNEBIAD, fodd bynnag rydym yn nodi:

·         Dylai’r cynnwys a ddangosir ar yr arddangosfeydd ffenestri fod yn gwbl ddwyieithog, gyda blaenoriaeth yn cael ei rhoi i’r iaith Gymraeg.

·         Ni ddylai goleuo arwyddion allanol fod yn ormodol.

The Council has NO OBJECTION, however notes:

·         Content shown on the window displays should be fully bilingual, with priority given to the Welsh language.

·         The external illumination of signage should not be excessive.

Respond

Mae gan y Cyngor DIM GWRTHWYNEBIAD ac rydym yn croesawu’r defnydd o’r iaith Gymraeg.
