• Roedd Cyngor Ceredigion yn gweithio gyda Phowys i wneud cais i San Steffan ar gyfer sefydlu Rhanbarth Datblygu Canolbarth Cymru er mwyn sicrhau cyllid. Byddai’r cyllid yn cael ei glustnodi ar gyfer adfywio porthladdoedd.
• Roedd cyfarfod Llywodraeth Cymru a Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru ar Brexit wedi tynnu sylw at feysydd yr effeithir arnynt os adewir heb gytundeb, gan gynnwys prinder ffrwythau a llysiau, prisiau bwyd, prinder meddyginiaeth, cyflenwadau tanwydd a nwyddau meddygol hanfodol eraill na wnaed yn y DU

Cyng Endaf Edwards:

• Murlyn Côr y Castell: roedd ail furlun yn cael ei baentio a chynhelir y lansiad ar 27 Mawrth

Hoffai Cyngor Tref Aberystwyth wrthwynebu'n ffurfiol y cynnydd arfaethedig o 7% yn Nhreth y Cyngor ar gyfer 2019-20. Credwn ei bod yn annheg ac yn ddiangen i wasgu mwy na'r cynnydd 5% a argymhellir.

Yn dilyn trafodaeth hir PENDERFYNWYD gwrthwynebu’r cynnig.

PENDERFYNWYD cefnogi Pleidlais i’r Bobl.

5.1

Ymgynghoriad cyn-gynllunio - Adeilad y Goron

Newid defnydd rhannol o’r swyddfa (B1) i breswyl (C3) i ddarparu 42 o unedau ac estyniad 4 llawr

Nodwyd tri maes o ddiddordeb / neu’n peri pryder:

1. Ansawdd bywyd a lles

• Croesewir y balconïau a ddangosir ond maent yn wynebu'r Gogledd felly bydd ganddynt brinder golau haul
• Mae angen mwy o falconïau (o leiaf balconïau jiwliet) ar y blaen yn wynebu'r De i sicrhau bod y trigolion yn mwynhau ansawdd bywyd gwell a bod yr adeilad sydd i’w weld o bell, yn bleser i edrych arno. Byddai hyn hefyd yn gwella gwerthiant. Croesewir y cladin pren.
• Mae llwybrau troed i mewn ac oddi wrth y datblygiad eisoes yn cael eu defnyddio'n rheolaidd a dylid eu cynnal a'u gwella i annog cerdded
• Beth fydd deiliadaeth y datblygiad? Mae angen opsiynau llai o faint i’w prynu yn yr ardal mewn ymateb i'r demograffeg sy'n heneiddio.

2. Amgylchedd

• Dylid gosod paneli solar ar y to a gosod system wresogi sy'n gyfeillgar i'r amgylchedd
• Dylai inswleiddio fod yn ystyriaeth allweddol gan fod yr adeilad mewn man agored i’r tywydd
• Dylai ffenestri fod yn wydr triphlyg
• Mae tirlunio yn hanfodol gyda’r coed / llwyni presennol ac ardaloedd gwyrdd yn cael eu cadw a'u gwella

• Seilwaith

• Mae ardal storio sbwriel ddigonol ond wedi'i sgrinio yn hanfodol ac ni ddylid ei leoli ger balconïau a ffenestri.
• A fydd mannau parcio penodol ar gyfer fflatiau?
• Dylid darparu rac / storfa beiciau digonol
• Mae mynediad i'r safle rhandir (a chlwb bowlio) ar gyfer llwytho a dadlwytho yn angenrheidiol (gan gynnwys man troi addas)

Gellid defnyddio cyllid Adran 106, os ar gael, ar gyfer gwelliannau i’r maes chwarae a llwybrau troed yn ogystal â darparu cyfleuster storio yn y rhandiroedd cyfagos.

Pre-planning consultation - Crown Building

Partial change of use from office (B1) to residential (C3) to provide 42 units and 4 storey extension.

Three areas of interest/concern were noted:

1. Quality of life and wellbeing

• The featured balconies are welcomed but face North so will have limited sunlight
• More balconies (at least juliet type balconies) are needed on the SW facing main frontage to ensure that residents enjoy an improved quality of life and that the building which is a prominent landmark, is aesthetically pleasing. This would also enhance saleability.  The wooden cladding is welcomed.
• Footpaths to and from the development are already well used and should be maintained and improved to encourage walking
• What will the tenure of the development be? Owner occupier ‘downsizing’ options are needed in the area in response to the ageing demographic.

2. Environment

• Solar panels should be installed on the roof and an environmentally friendly heating system installed
• Insulation should be a key consideration as the building is exposed to the weather
• Windows should be triple glazed
• Landscaping is essential with existing trees/shrubs and green areas retained and enhanced

3. Infrastructure

• An adequate but screened refuse storage area is essential and should not be located near balconies and windows.
• Will there be assigned parking spaces for flats?
• An adequate cycle rack/store should be provided
• Access is essential to the allotment site (and bowling club) for loading and unloading (including an appropriate turning space)

Section 106 funding, if there was any available, could be used for playground and footpath improvements as well as provision of storage at the neighbouring allotments.

Parc Ffordd y Gogledd:

Roedd y poplys wedi cael eu torri lawr Yn dilyn cyngor proffesiynol ynghylch yr opsiwn mwyaf diogel ar gyfer ymdrin ag aildyfiant ar hyd y systemau gwreiddiau (crachgoed) cytunwyd i ddefnyddio plygiau eco.

Roedd y drysfa yn gostus i'w gynnal ac ARGYMHELLWYD symud y pyst a'r rhaffau, ond eu cadw mewn storfa, a gosod byrddau picnic ar y gwyrdd, a’u angori’n gadarn, i atal defnydd chwaraeon trwm oherwydd bod y tyweirch yn anaddas. Mesur dros dro yw hyn hyd nes y cwblheir dyluniad y parc yn dilyn yr ymgynghori. Nodwyd sylwadau ysgrifenedig gan y Cyng Mark Strong yn egluro bod difrod wedi bod o chwaraeon pêl cyn i'r ddrysfa gael ei roi yn ei le.

North Road Park:

The poplars had been felled. Following professional advice as to the safest option for dealing with regrowth along the root systems (suckers) it was agreed to use eco plugs.

The labyrinth was costly to maintain and it was RECOMMENDED that the posts and ropes be removed, but kept in storage, and picnic tables be put on the green, and anchored securely, to deterr heavy sport use as the turf was unsuitable.  This represents an interim measure until the park design is finalised following consultation. Written comments from Cllr Mark Strong were noted explaining that there had been damage from ball sports before the labyrinth was put in place.

6

Parc Kronberg:

Roedd defnydd gan grwpiau cymunedol a phob oedran yn un o ofynion cyllid y Loteri a chyflwynwyd cynllun gweithgaredd drafft i'w gymeradwyo.

ARGYMHELLWYD y dylid gymeradwyo’r cynllun ac y dylid cyflwyno unrhyw wariant i'r Pwyllgor Cyllid.

Parc Kronberg:

Use by community groups and all ages was a requirement of the Lottery funding and a draft activity plan was presented for approval.

It was RECOMMENDED that the plan be approved and any expenditure to be presented to the Finance Committee.

7

Balchder Bro:

Roedd cyfarfod yn cael ei drefnu gydag Iechyd yr Amgylchedd a Strydlun Ceredigion i edrych ar opsiynau.

Roedd Aberystwyth ar y Blaen hefyd yn ystyried materion balchder dinesig. Roedd y pwnc hefyd yn berthnasol i'r Cynllun Lle.

ARGYMHELLWYD y dylid edrych ymhellach ar weithio mewn partneriaeth.

Civic Pride:

A meeting was in the process of being set up with Ceredigion Environmental health and Streetscene to explore options.

Advancing Aberystwyth were also considering civic pride issues.  The topic was also relevant to the Place Plan.

It was RECOMMENDED that partnership working should be explored further.

8

Plannu coed:

Yn ogystal â'r gwaith plannu coed a gymeradwywyd gan y Cyngor, roedd y Cynghorydd Sue Jones-Davies wedi cael nifer o goed gan Coed Cadw i'w plannu.

ARGYMHELLWYD bod y Cyngor Llawn yn nodi lleoliadau addas.

Tree Planting:

In addition to the tree planting approved by the Council, Cllr Sue Jones-Davies had acquired a quantity of Woodland Trust trees for planting. 

It was RECOMMENDED that councillors identify suitable locations.
