  48. Advisory notes: FLOOD AND WATER MANAGEMENT ACT (FWMA) 2010 THE SUSTAINABLE DRAINAGE (APPROVAL AND ADOPTION PROCEDURE) (WALES) REGULATIONS 2018 Sustainable drainage systems are a mandatory requirement on new development where the construction area is 100sqm or more. It is considered that this development exceeds the above identified threshold and may require Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) consent from the relevant Sustainable Drainage Systems Approval Body (SAB). Consequently, you are advised to contact the relevant Sustainable Drainage Systems Approval Body (SAB) at Gwynedd Council for advice and guidance on this matter. PLEASE NOTE: If SUDS consent is required this will need approval from the SAB prior to the commencement of any works on site. To avoid any potential impact on any the Afon Gwyrfai a Llyn Cwellyn Special Area of Conservation (SAC), pollution prevention guidelines must be adhered to during all phases of the proposed works. Mitigation measures are required in the form of Pollution Prevention Guidance (GPP5 & GPP6) which must be obeyed at all times. These can be found at: https://www.netregs.org.uk/media/1418/gpp-5-works-and-maintenance-in-or-near-water.pdf https://www.netregs.org.uk/media/tsybv2y3/gpp6-working-on-construction-and-demolitionsites.pdf These represent established best practice, and their implementation provides confidence in preventing uncontrolled discharges to the surrounding European site.
  49. Nodiadau cynghorol: DEDDF RHEOLI LLIFOGYDD A D"[R 2010 RHEOLIADAU DRAENIO CYNALIADWY (GWEITHDREFN GYMERADWYO A MABWYSIADU) (CYMRU) 2018 Mae systemau draenio cynaliadwy yn ofyniad gorfodol ar ddatblygiad newydd lle mae'r ardal adeiladu yn 100metr sgwâr neu fwy. Ystyrir bod y datblygiad hwn yn fwy na'r trothwy a nodwyd uchod ac efallai y bydd angen caniatâd Systemau Draenio Cynaliadwy (SuDS) gan y Corff Cymeradwyo Systemau Draenio Cynaliadwy (SAB) perthnasol. O ganlyniad, fe'ch cynghorir i gysylltu â'r Corff Cymeradwyo Systemau Draenio Cynaliadwy perthnasol (SAB) yng Nghyngor Gwynedd i gael cyngor ac arweiniad ar y mater hwn. SYLWER: Os oes angen caniatâd SUDS, bydd angen cymeradwyaeth gan y SAB cyn dechrau unrhyw waith ar y safle. Er mwyn osgoi unrhyw effaith bosibl ar unrhyw Ardal Gadwraeth Arbennig Afon Gwyrfai a Llyn Cwellyn, rhaid cadw at ganllawiau atal llygredd yn ystod pob cam o'r gwaith arfaethedig. Mae angen mesurau lliniaru ar ffurf Canllawiau Atal Llygredd (GPP5 a GPP6) y mae'n rhaid ufuddhau iddynt bob amser. Gellir dod o hyd i'r rhain yn fan hyn: https://www.netregs.org.uk/media/1418/gpp-5-works-and-maintenance-in-or-near-water.pdf https://www.netregs.org.uk/media/tsybv2y3/gpp6-working-on-construction-and-demolitionsites.pdf Mae'r rhain yn cynrychioli arfer gorau sefydledig, ac mae eu gweithredu yn rhoi hyder wrth atal gollyngiadau heb ei reoli i'r safle Ewropeaidd cyfagos.
  50. Bydd y caffi a'r siop ar gyfer gwerthiannau ar y safle ar gyfer preswylwyr gwersylla yn unig ac ni fydd yn cael eu defnyddio ar unrhyw adeg i hwyluso gwerthiannau oddi ar y safle, ac ni ddylid eu hysbysebu mewn unrhyw ffordd o'r briffordd.
