Mynychodd Dr Sarah Groves-Phillips, Rheolwr Corfforaethol ar gyfer Gwasanaethau Cynllunio yng Nghyngor Sir Ceredigion y cyfarfod i roi cyflwyniad ar faterion cynllunio ac adfywio, gyda ffocws ar blaenau siopau yn Aberystwyth.

Rhoddodd ddiweddariadau ar y Cynllun Datblygu Lleol (CDLl), ardal gadwraeth, creu lleoedd, gorfodi cynllunio, a materion rheoli maetholion sy’n effeithio ar y ardal.

Ymatebodd Dr Groves-Phillips hefyd i gwestiynau gan gynghorwyr ar bolisi cynllunio, tai, defnydd eiddo masnachol, a dyfodol gwelliannau canol trefi.

Nodwyd bod dau ymgynghoriad datblygwr ar wahân ar agor ar hyn o bryd, yn ymwneud â datblygiadau gwahanol. Cafodd y ddau ymgynghoriad eu hystyried.

Cam 4 Brynderw:

Er cydnabod yr angen am dai fforddiadwy o safon yn Aberystwyth, mae’r Cyngor Tref yn GWRTHWYNEBU’r datblygiad arfaethedig am y rhesymau canlynol:

·         Mae maint y cynnig yn cynrychioli gorddatblygiad o’r safle.

·         Byddai colled sylweddol o ofod gwyrdd, gydag effaith ecolegol a daearegol gysylltiedig, yn enwedig o ystyried lleoliad y safle ar ymyl bryn.

·         Nid oes digon o le parcio, a fyddai’n arwain at fwy o bwysau ar strydoedd cyfagos.

·         Byddai’r datblygiad yn creu gormod o draffig ar ffyrdd preswyl llai, sydd eisoes yn brysur, fel Ffordd Stanley.

·         Mae dyluniad y strwythur(au) arfaethedig yn sylweddol wahanol i eiddo cyfagos, ac nid yw’n gydnaws â nodweddion ardal gadwraeth Aberystwyth.

·         Mae diffyg eglurder ynghylch fforddiadwyedd y tai arfaethedig.

·         Yn gyffredinol, nid yw’r dull datblygu graddol a gymerwyd ar y safle hwn yn cael ei gefnogi gan y Cyngor Tref.

Awgrymwyd gwahodd y datblygwyr i gyfarfod â Chyngor y Dref i drafod pryderon cyn cyflwyno cais am ganiatâd cynllunio.

Tir yn Brynderw, Ffordd Stanley:

Mae’r Cyngor Tref yn GWRTHWYNEBU am y rhesymau canlynol:

·         Mae’r dyluniad arfaethedig yn cynrychioli gwahaniaeth sylweddol o’i gymharu â’r cais a gymeradwywyd yn flaenorol, heb gynnydd sylweddol yn nifer yr unedau.

·         Nid oes darpariaeth ar gyfer storio sgwteri symudedd.

Awgrymwyd gwahodd y datblygwyr i gyfarfod â’r Cyngor Tref i drafod pryderon cyn cyflwyno cais am ganiatâd cynllunio.

Cllr. Kerry Ferguson declared an interest and left the meeting for the duration of this item.

It was noted that there were two separate developer consultations open, on different developments. Both consultations were considered.

Phase 4 Brynderw:

Whilst recognising the need for affordable, quality housing in Aberystwyth, the Town Council OBJECTS to the proposed development for the following reasons:

·         The scale of the proposal constitutes overdevelopment of the site.

·         There would be a significant loss of green space, with associated ecological and geological impact, particularly given the site’s location on the edge of a bank.

·         There is insufficient parking provision, which would lead to increased pressure on neighbouring streets.

·         The development would generate excessive traffic on smaller, already busy residential roads such as Stanley Road.

·         The design of the proposed structure(s) is substantially different to nearby properties, and not in keeping with the characteristics of the Aberystwyth conservation area.

·         There is a lack of clarity on the affordability of the housing proposed.

·         The phased approach to development that has been taken at this site is generally not supported by the Town Council.

It was suggested to invite the developers to meet with the Town Council to discuss concerns prior to submitting an application for planning permission.

Land at Brynderw, Stanley Road:

The Town Council OBJECTS for the following reasons:

·         The proposed design represents a substantial difference to the previously approved application, without a significant gain in the number of units.

·         There is no provision for mobility scooter storage..

It was suggested to invite the developers to meet with the Town Council to discuss concerns prior to submitting an application for planning permission.

Ailymunodd y Cyng. Kerry Ferguson â’r cyfarfod.

Mae gan y Cyngor Tref DIM GWRTHWYNEBIAD i’r cynnig, ar yr amod y cynhelir asesiad fforddiadwyedd ar gyfer y datblygiad cyfan, yn hytrach nag ar sail segmentiedig. Dylid gosod amod ar y preswylfeydd yn eu hatal rhag cael eu defnyddio fel llety gwyliau neu ail gartrefi.

Cllr. Kerry Ferguson re-joined the meeting.

The Town Council has NO OBJECTION to the proposal, provided that. an affordability assessment be conducted for the development as a whole, rather than on a segmented basis. A condition should be placed on the dwellings preventing them from being used as used as holiday accommodation or second homes.

Mae gan y Cyngor Tref DIM GWRTHWYNEBIAD, ar yr amod bod y cynnig yn cydymffurfio â’r Canllawiau Cynllunio Atodol ar Flaenau Siopau yn Aberystwyth (2013). Byddem yn awgrymu defnyddio arwyddion traddodiadol, sy’n cydymffurfio â’r canllawiau a’r argymhellion a gyhoeddwyd yng Nghynllun Gwerthuso a Rheoli Ardal Gadwraeth Aberystwyth (2025).

The Town Council has NO OBJECTION, provided that the proposal conforms to the Supplementary Planning Guidance on Shop Fronts in Aberystwyth (2013). We would suggest that traditional signage be used, that conforms with the guidance and recommendations issued in the Aberystwyth Conservation Area Appraisal & Management Plan (2025).

Mae’r Cyngor Tref yn CEFNOGI’R cais yn GRYF. Edrychwn ymlaen at weld cais ar wahân ar gyfer blaen y siop yn y dyfodol agos.

The Town Council STRONGLY SUPPORTS the application. We look forward to seeing a separate application for the shop front in the near future.

Cytunwyd y dylid cynnal trafodaethau pellach gyda Grŵp Cymorth Parc Natur Penglais cyn ystyried ymhellach.

It was agreed that further discussions should take place with the Parc Natur Penglais Support Group before further consideration.

Roedd y cynnig yn cynnig cynnal ymgynghoriad cyhoeddus ar ‘ail-enwi’r ardal a adnabyddir yn gyffredin fel ‘Sgwâr Llys y Brenin’, i enw sy’n gysylltiedig â Dewi Sant. ARGYMHELLWYD cymeradwyo’r cynnig gyda’r newidiadau canlynol:

·         Diwygio teitl y cynnig i ‘Enwi ardal o Aberystwyth’ oherwydd nad oes gan yr ardal ei henw ei hun eisoes.

·         I restru mwy o enwau posibl, nid dim ond rhai sy’n gysylltiedig â Dewi Sant.

·         I gynnwys darpariaeth i’r cyhoedd awgrymu enwau posibl.

Byddai’r aelodau’n ystyried enwau posibl, ar gyfer rhestr o awgrymiadau i’w chymeradwyo gan y Cyngor Llawn ochr yn ochr â’r cynnig.

The motion proposed undertaking a public consultation on the ‘renaming’ of the area know colloquially as ‘Llys y Brenin Square’, to a name associated with Saint David. It was RECOMMENDED to approve the motion with the following changes:

·         Amend the title of the motion to ‘Naming an area of Aberystwyth’ due to the area not already having it’s own name.

·         To list more potential names, not only ones associated with Saint David.

·         To include provision for the public to suggest potential names.

Members would think of potential names, for a list of suggestions to be approved by Full Council alongside the motion.
