126 Ceisiadau Cynllunio

 

Planning applications  
126.1 A220720: Adeiladau’r Orsaf

 

DIM GWRTHWYNEBIAD gan y Cyngor Tref cyn belled â bod arwyddion yn ddwyieithog lle bo’n berthnasol a heb eu goleuo’n fewnol.

A220720:Station Buildings

 

The Town Council has NO OBJECTION as long as signage is bilingual where applicable and is not internally illuminated.

126.2 A220739:Gwernllwyn, Penparcau

 

DIM GWRTHWYNEBIAD

A220739: Gwernllwyn, Penparcau

 

NO OBJECTION

 

 
126.3 A220688/9: 43 Rhodfa’r Gogledd

 

Mae’r Cyngor Tref yn croesawu addasiadau o HMO i fflatiau ond mae ganddo bryderon ynghylch:

 

  • Y cais cynllunio ôl-weithredol
  • Defnyddio ffenestri UPVC mewn ardal gadwraeth
  • Maint bach Fflat 2 – mae hyn yn cynrychioli gor ddatblygu
  • Dim storfa ar gyfer beiciau
  • Y cyfrifiadau ariannol amheus

 

Dylid gosod amod ar y fflatiau na ddylid eu defnyddio fel ail gartrefi neu osodiadau gwyliau

A220688/9: 43 North Parade

 

The Town Council welcomes conversions from HMO to flats but has concerns regarding:

 

  • The retrospective planning application
  • The use of UPVC windows in a conservation area
  • The small size of Flat 2 – this represents over development
  • No storage for bikes
  • The questionable financial calculations

 

A stipulation should be placed on the flats that they should not be used as second homes or holiday lets

 

 

 
126.4 A220729/30:Llyfrgell Genedlaethol

 

Daeth y Cyng Sienna Lewis i’r Gadair wrth i’r Cyng Jeff Smith adael y Siambr.

 

DIM GWRTHWYNEBIAD. Mae’r Cyngor yn croesawu plannu coed yn lle unrhyw goed a dorrir

A220729/30:National Library of Wales

 

Cllr Sienna Lewis took the Chair as Cllr Jeff Smith withdrew from the Chamber.

 

NO OBJECTION.  The Council welcomes tree planting to replace any felled trees

 

 
126.5 A220764:10 Heol y Wig

 

Gadawodd y Clerc y Siambr.

 

DIM GWRTHWYNEBIAD. Byddai’n dda gweld y siop yn cael ei defnyddio. Mae’r cyngor yn cymryd y bydd sŵn ac arogleuon yn cael eu cynnwys mewn cais cynllunio yn y dyfodol.

 

A220764:10 Pier Street

 

The Clerk withdrew from the Chamber.

 

NO OBJECTION.  It would be good to see the shop in use. The council trusts that noise and smells will be covered by a future planning application.

 

 
127 Mannau tyfu Plascrug

 

PENDERFYNWYD derbyn y brydles fer am 6 blynedd a 364 diwrnod gyda’r gobaith y gellid ei hadnewyddu.

128 Cynnig: Cysgodfan wrth yr arhosfan tacsi (Cyng Jeff Smith)

 

Y cynnig: bod y Cyngor Tref yn gosod a chynnal cysgodfa gyda mainc/seddi wrth flaen y ranc tacsis lle mae pobl yn aros pan nad oes tacsis wedi cyrraedd y ranc.

 

Cefnogwyd hyn mewn egwyddor ond roedd angen mwy o wybodaeth o ran costau ac adborth gan Gymdeithas y Gyrwyr Tacsi i alluogi trafodaeth bellach.

 

Motion: Taxi rank shelter (Cllr Jeff Smith)

 

 

The motion: ‘the Town Council erects and maintains a shelter with bench/seats at the front of the taxi rank where people wait if there are currently no taxis at the rank’.

 

This was supported in principle but more information was needed in terms of costs and feedback from the Taxi Drivers’ Association to enable further discussion

131 Cynnig: MUGA (Cyng Talat Chaudhri)
