NO OBJECTION.

Adolygwyd polisïau cynllunio’r Cyngor, a nodwyd bod angen gwneud y derminoleg yn gyson ar draws y dogfennau. Ar wahân i hyn, cytunwyd nad oedd angen newidiadau pellach.

The Council’s planning policies were reviewed, and it was noted that terminology needed to be made consistent throughout the documents. Aside from this, it was agreed that no further changes were needed.

Roedd y Cyng. Jeff Smith wedi cynnal adolygiad o’r ceisiadau cynllunio y ymatebwyd iddynt yn 2025, a sut yr ystyriwyd sylwadau’r Cyngor Tref gan Gyngor Sir Ceredigion. Diolchodd aelodau i’r Cyng. Jeff Smith am ei ymchwiliad, a nodwyd bod ei waith wedi dangos effeithiolrwydd ymatebion y Cyngor i geisiadau cynllunio. Nodwyd ymhellach fod Swyddog Treftadaeth Cyngor Sir Ceredigion wedi rhoi adborth cadarnhaol i rai cynghorwyr i gydnabod a gwerthfawrogi’r sylwadau a ddarparwyd gan y Cyngor Tref.

Nodwyd hefyd nad oedd sylwadau’r Cyngor ar gais A250314 wedi’u hystyried, a byddai angen codi hyn gyda Adran Gynllunio Cyngor Sir Ceredigion.

ARGYMHELLWYD yn unfrydol i dderbyn a chofnodi’n ffurfiol y gwaith a wnaed gan y Cynghorydd Jeff Smith. Awgrymwyd y gellid cynnwys crynodeb tebyg o effeithiolrwydd y Cyngor mewn cynllunio fel rhan o adroddiad blynyddol y Cyngor.

Cllr. Jeff Smith had undertaken a review of the planning applications responded to in 2025, and how the Town Council’s comments had been taken into account by Ceredigion County Council. Members thanked Cllr. Jeff Smith for his investigation, and it was noted that his work had demonstrated the effectiveness of the Council’s responses to planning applications. It was further noted that Ceredigion County Council’s Heritage Officer had given positive feedback to some councillors to acknowledge and appreciate the comments provided by the Town Council.

It was also noted that the Council’s comments on application A250314 had not been taken into account, and that this would need to be raised with Ceredigion County Council’s Planning Department.

It was unanimously RECOMMENDED to formally receive and record the work undertaken by Cllr. Jeff Smith. It was suggested that a similar summary of the Council’s effectiveness in Planning could be included as part of the Council’s annual report.
