23 Ceisiadau grant Grant applications

 

23.1 Canolfan Argyfwng yr Hinsawdd

 

Rhoddodd Susanna Kenyon drosolwg o’r cais ac yn benodol yr angen am ofod mewn adeilad eu hunain er mwyn annog cyfranogiad cymunedol. Cynlluniwyd gweithgareddau awyr agored hefyd i blant a rhieni i annog ymgysylltiad â natur.

 

PENDERFYNWYD rhoi iddynt y dyraniad grant y cytunwyd arno o £1000.

It was RESOLVED to give them the agreed grant allocation of £1000.

 

23.2 Digwyddiad ‘ Glannau’r Rheidol’

 

Rhoddodd Heather McClure drosolwg o ddigwyddiad diwylliannol canol y dref i annog cysylltiadau rhwng cymunedau gwledig ac Aberystwyth, gyda chyfraniadau ychwanegol gan Sian Stacey ac Alice Briggs. Roeddent yn chwilio am arian cyfatebol ar gyfer grant Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru o £31,700 a fyddai’n arwain o bosibl at brosiect dilynol o ddwy flynedd.

 

PENDERFYNWYD rhoi’r swm o £2975 iddynt a ofynnwyd amdano. Byddai’r arian yn dod o’r gyllideb digwyddiadau.

Heather McClure provided an overview of the town centre cultural event to encourage connections between rural communities and Aberystwyth, with additional contributions from Sian Stacey and Alice Briggs.

33 Ceisiadau Cynllunio

 

A210459: Hen Goleg

 

Mae’r Cyngor Tref yn llwyr gefnogi datblygiad yr Hen Goleg ond dylid nodi bod yr Hen Goleg yn adeilad unigryw rhestredig Gradd 1 o bwysigrwydd hanesyddol ac y dylid ei ddiogelu yn yr un modd ag adeiladau tebyg mewn mannau eraill fel Coleg Iesu, Rhydychen.

 

 

Llongyfarchodd cynghorwyr y Brifysgol ar eu sylw i fanylion ynglŷn ag atgynhyrchu’r lliwiau paent gwreiddiol ond codwyd amryw bryderon hefyd:

 

  1. Fflamadwyedd deunyddiau yn ystod y broses adeiladu. Dylid cymryd gofal i osgoi trychineb tebyg i’r un a ddigwyddodd i Ysgol Gelf Glasgow.
  2. Tynnu’r grisiau troellog. Dyma un o brif elfennau dylunio’r adeilad gwreiddiol a dylid ystyried yn ofalus cyn ei symud.
  3. Mae dymchwel cymaint o’r waliau gwreiddiol yn ymddangos yn ormodol
  4. Defnyddio gwydr yn lle drysau traddodiadol

 

Roedd angen mwy o drafod a byddai cyfarfod anffurfiol yn cael ei gynnal i edrych ymhellach ar y manylion.

Planning applications

 

A210459: Old College

 

The Town Council fully support the development of the Old College but it should be noted that the Old College is a Grade 1 listed building of historic importance and should be safeguarded in the same way as similar buildings elsewhere such as Jesus College, Oxford.

 

Councillors congratulated the University on their attention to detail regarding replication of the original paint colours but also raised various concerns:

 

  1. Flammability of materials during the build process. Care should be taken to avoid a similar disaster to the one which befell the Glasgow School of Art.
  2. Removal of the spiral staircases. These are one of the main design elements of the original building and careful consideration should be given before removal.
  3. The knocking through of original walls seems excessive
  4. Use of glass instead of traditional doors

 

More discussion was needed and an informal meeting would be convened to look further at the details.

 

34 Eglwys Santes Gwenfrewi St Winefride’s Church  

 

34.1 Byddai’r pryniant wedi’i gwblhau gyda’r taliad olaf ar gyfer Treth Tir a ffioedd cyfreithwyr.

 

Y flaenoriaeth gyntaf fyddai sicrhau bod y safle’n ddiogel ac yna mynd i’r afael â tho’r porth sy’n gollwng a wal anniogle yr henaduriaeth.

 

Byddai angen cynnal rhestr o arteffactau a dodrefn er mwyn cadw eitemau’n ddiogel a chytuno ar eu storio a gweithredu ymhellach. Byddai ymweliad safle yn cael ei drefnu i asesu’r gwaith hwn ac unrhyw anghenion garddio.

 

Byddai angen caniatâd cynllunio ar gyfer newid defnydd ac roedd angen rheolwr prosiect i wneud ceisiadau am gyllid ac ati.

The purchase would be complete with the final payment for Land Tax and solicitors fees.

 

The first priority would be to make the site secure and then to address the leeking porch roof and the unsafe presbytery wall.

 

An inventory of artefacts and furniture would be needed in order to keep items safe and agree their storage and further action. A site visit would be arranged to assess this work and any gardening needs.

 

Planning permission would be needed for change of use and a project manager was needed to seek funding etc.

34.2 Byddai enw newydd ar gyfer yr adeiladau yn cael ei roi ar agenda’r cyfarfod nesaf i ganiatáu mwy o amser i’w ystyried. Awgrymwyd ‘Canolfan Santes Gwenfrewi’ a ‘Neuadd Gwenfrewi’ fel enwau gyda chyswllt hanesyddol i’w ystyried. A new name for the buildings would be put on the agenda of the next meeting to allow more time for consideration.  ‘Canolfan Santes Gwenfrewi’ and ‘Neuadd Gwenfrewi’ were put forward for consideration as names with a historic link.

  • Roedd cynllun manwl yn hanfodol i wahodd dyfynbrisiau ar gyfer elfennau o’r gwaith grant.

  • A detailed plan was essential to invite quotes for elements of the grant works. Two quotes had been received although two other companies had also been contacted. It was RESOLVED, as costs and availability of both companies were very similar, to commission the company who had provided the sketch plan for the grant application.
  • A site visit would be arranged to explain the plans.
  • A new name for the park would be put on the agenda of the next meeting to allow more time for consideration. ‘Maes Gwenfrewi’ was suggested.
