Ceisiadau Cynllunio

Planning Applications

9.1

A240350 20 Ffordd Penmaesglas:

Mae'r Cyngor Tref yn CEFNOGI’N GRYF y cais hwn ac yn croesawu'r gwelliannau tuag at ynni gwyrdd. Nodwn fod yr allbwn sŵn dim ond 1 desibel uwchlaw'r trothwy lle mae angen caniatâd cynllunio.

A240350 20 Ffordd Penmaesglas:

The Town Council STRONGLY SUPPORTS this application and welcomes the improvements towards green energy. We note that the noise output is only 1 decibel above the threshold at which planning permission is needed.

9.2

A240340 Y Bwythyn, Stryd y Brenin:

Gwnaed sylwadau gan aelodau o'r cyhoedd. Mae’r Cyngor Tref yn GWRTHWYNEBU’N GRYF y cais hwn ar y sail a ganlyn:

• Diffyg asesiad sŵn
• Diffyg unrhyw ymgynghori ystyrlon
• Mae gwrthwynebiad clir gan y cyhoedd a chymdogion
• Gellid datblygu a defnyddio'r adeilad yn well; byddai hyn yn arwain at golli man preswyl neu fasnachol posibl
• Mae risg i iechyd y cyhoedd a thrigolion cyfagos
• Diffyg gwybodaeth am gyfraddau pŵer yr is-orsaf
• Risg tân a ffrwydrad i eiddo cyfagos
• Mae safleoedd amgen mwy diogel a mwy addas ar gael – yr hen safle golff gwallgof, neu dir Eglwys Sant Mihangel.

Byddid yn cysylltu ag aelodau Pwyllgor Cynllunio Cyngor Sir Ceredigion i ofyn i’r Pwyllgor drafod y cais hwn.

A240340 Y Bwythyn, Stryd y Brenin:

Representations were made by members of the public. The Town Council STRONGLY OBJECTS to this application on the following basis:

• Lack of a sound assessment
• Lack of any meaningful consultation
• There is clear opposition from the public and neighbours
• The building could be developed and used better; this would result in a loss of a potential residential or commercial space
• There is a risk to health, both of the general public and nearby residents
• Lack of information on power ratings of the substation
• Fire and explosion risk to nearby properties
• There are safer, more suitable alternative sites available – the old crazy golf site, or the grounds of St Michael’s Church.

Members of Ceredigion County Council’s Planning Committee would be contacted to request this application be discussed by the Committee.

Penderfyniad cynllunio – A240140 9 Rhes Penglais:

ARGYMHELLWYD ysgrifennu at yr Awdurdod Cynllunio (Cyngor Sir Ceredigion) yn mynegi anfodlonrwydd gyda'r penderfyniad i roi caniatâd i'r cais hwn. Byddai swyddogion cynllunio a’r Cyng. Matthew Vaux (Aelod Cabinet Cyngor Sir Ceredigion dros Bartneriaethau, Tai, Cyfreithiol a Llywodraethu a Gwarchod y Cyhoedd) yn cael eu gwahodd i gyfarfod â’r Cyngor Tref a thrafod hyn ymhellach.

Trwyddedu tai amlfeddiannaeth:

ARGYMHELLWYD ysgrifennu at adran drwyddedu Cyngor Sir Ceredigion, yn eu gwahodd i gyfarfod â'r Cyngor Tref a thrafod trwyddedu a gorfodi Tai Amlfeddiannaeth.

Datblygiad newydd – ‘Porth y De’:

Mae’r Cyngor Tref yn GWRTHWYNEBU’N GRYF i’r enw arfaethedig ‘Porth y De’ yn gryf, gan mai hwn yw enw’r ardal gyfan honno eisoes, sef Southgate yn Saesneg. Gallai enw arall fod yn ‘Maes Gwenallt’, ar ôl y bardd Gwenallt a oedd yn byw gerllaw.

New development – ‘Porth y De’:

The Town Council STRONGLY OPPOSES the proposed name of ‘Porth y De’, as this is already the name of that whole area, being Southgate in English. An alternative name could be ‘Maes Gwenallt’, after the poet Gwenallt who lived nearby.
