PENDERFYNWYD cymeradwyo’r cofnodion a’r argymhellion canlynol:

 

  1. Golchi’r palmentydd. Roedd y peiriant golchi ar drelar, a byddai’n costio £15 yr awr i’w weithredu. Dylai ganolbwyntio ar y prif strydoedd wedi’u haddurno â bynting a dylai wneud cymaint ag sydd ei angen tra byddai’r eisteddfod ymlaen. Yn gynnar yn y bore fyddai’r amser mwyaf diogel.

 

  1. Cynorthwyydd Amgylcheddol i gasglu sbwriel.

 

  1. Cytundeb cau giâtau Maes Gwenfrewi

 

  1. Meinciau i Faes Gwenfrewi

 

  1. Ffens Maes Gwenfrewi

 

  1. Grantiau partneriaeth gefeillio. Cynghorwyr i edrych i mewn i Bartneriaeth Arklow

 

  1. 1. Cyllid i GAG ar gyfer plannu coed ffrwythau

 

 

Minutes of the Finance & Establishments Committee held on Monday, 18 July 2022

 

It was RESOLVED to approve the minutes and the following recommendations:

 

  1. Pressure washing the pavements. The pressure washer was on a trailer, and it would cost £15 per hour to operate. It should concentrate on the main streets decorated with bunting and it should do as much as needed whilst the eisteddfod was on. Early morning would be the safest time.

 

  1. 6. Environmental Assistant to collect litter.

 

 

  1. 7. Maes Gwenfrewi gate closure contract

 

  1. 8. Benches for Maes Gwenfrewi

 

  1. 9. Maes Gwenfrewi fence

Ceisiadau Cynllunio

 

Ni fyddai’r Cynghorydd Alun Williams yn gwneud sylwadau ar geisiadau yn ei ward

Planning applications

 

Cllr Alun Williams would not be commenting on applications in his ward

 

 
75.1 A220414: 11 Llwyn Afallon, Penglais

 

Nid yw’r Cyngor yn gwrthwynebu ond mae’n gresynu at golli man gwyrdd ac fe ddylai unrhyw arwynebau newydd fod yn fandyllog.  Ond mae gan y Cyngor bryderon am ddiogelwch y cyhoedd, yn enwedig plant, oherwydd ceir yn croesi’r palmant. Nid yw’r datblygiad arfaethedig yn arwain at gynnydd mewn mannau parcio.

 

A220414: 11 Elysian Grove, Penglais

 

The Council does not object but regrets the loss of green space and any new surfaces should be porous. However the Council has concerns over public safety, children in particular, due to cars crossing the pavement. The proposed development does not result in an increase in parking spaces.

75.2 A220402: Carregwen, Llanbadarn Road

 

Fel y nodwyd eisoes, mae’r Cyngor Tref YN GWRTHWYNEBU’N GRYF oherwydd:

 

  • mae’n mynd yn gwbl groes i egwyddorion ardal gadwraeth gyda cholli adeilad hanesyddol hardd.
  • Nid oes tystiolaeth wirioneddol fod yr adeilad yn ansefydlog gan nad oes arolygon wedi eu cynnal.
  • Bydd dyluniadau a gorffeniadau’r adeiladau newydd yn anghydnaws â’r adeiladau hanesyddol eraill
  • Mae’n cynrychioli colli mwy o fannau gwyrdd.

 

Yn ychwanegol

  • Nid yw’r asesiad cadwraeth a ddarparwyd yn gwneud synnwyr a mae’n amherthnasol gan ei fod yn cyfeirio at Aberaeron ac yn dangos dim dealltwriaeth o’r lleoliad.
A220402: Carregwen, Llanbadarn Road

 

As previously stated, the Town Council STRONGLY OBJECTS to the application as:

 

  • it goes completely against the principles of a conservation area with the loss of a beautiful historic building.
  • There is no real evidence that the building is unstable as no surveys have been carried out.
  • The designs and finishes of the new builds will be out of keeping with the other historic buildings
  • It represents the loss of more green space.

 

In addition

  • The conservation assessment provided is nonsensical and irrelevant as it refers to Aberaeron and demonstrates no understanding of the location.

 

 

 
75.3 A220457: Fflatiau 1-5, 9 Porth y Gogledd

 

Mae’r Cyngor Tref yn GWRTHWYNEBU’r cais ac yn nodi’r canlynol:

 

  • Na fyddai rendrad carreg yn gweddu gyda’r tai cyfagos ar yr un ochr o’r stryd. Mae’r brics yn hanesyddol.
  • Nid yw’r ffenestri a’r drysau arfaethedig yn cyd-fynd â steil gwreiddiol y ffenestri a dylent fod yn bren yn hytrach na rhai upvc
  • Dylai gwelliannau fod yn gydnaws â’r ardal gadwraeth
A220457: Flats 1-5, 9 Northgate Stryd

 

The Town Council OBJECTS to the application and notes the following:

 

  • Stone render would not be in keeping with the neighbouring houses on that side of the street. The brick is historic.
  • The proposed windows and doors are not in keeping with the original style of window and should be wooden as opposed to upvc
  • Improvements should be in keeping with the conservation area

 

 

 
76 Cerflun Mabinogi

 

Er bod y gwaith celf yn cael ei werthfawrogi, PENDERFYNWYD nad oedd y Cyngor Tref mewn sefyllfa i brynu gwaith celf ar hyn o bryd ac y byddai’n edrych ar ddatblygu polisi i’r dyfodol. Byddai clustnodi arian ar gyfer gwaith celf cymunedol yn cael ei ystyried yn y gyllideb nesaf.

 

Mabinogi Carving

 

Although the artwork was appreciated, it was RESOLVED that the Town Council was not in a position to purchase artwork at this point and would look at developing a policy going forward.  Allocating funds for community artwork would be considered in the next budget.
