- Notes The planning permission hereby granted does not extend any rights to carry out works to the public water supply system without first having obtained the necessary permission required by the Water industries Act 1991. Any alterations to existing premises resulting in the creation of additional premises or merging of existing premises must also be constructed so that each is separately connected to the Company’s water main and can be separately metred. Please contact Dwr Cymru Welsh Water’s new connections team on 0800 917 2652 for further information on water connections. In accordance with Planning Policy Wales (Edition 12) and Technical Advice Note 12 (Design), the applicant is advised to take a sustainable approach in considering water supply in new development proposals, including utilising approaches that improve water efficiency and reduce water consumption. We would recommend that the applicant liaises with the Building Control department to discuss their water efficiency requirements. FLOOD AND WATER MANAGEMENT ACT (FWMA) 2010 THE SUSTAINABLE DRAINAGE (APPROVAL AND ADOPTION PROCEDURE)(WALES) REGULATIONS 2018 Following the introduction of the above legislation on 7th January 2019, sustainable drainage systems have become a mandatory requirement on new development of more than 1 dwelling house or where the construction area is 100m2 or more. It is considered that this development, as it appears, 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 ( https://www.gwynedd.llyw.cymru/en/Residents/Planning-and-building-control/Planning/Sustainable-Drainage-Systems.aspx) 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.
- Nodiadau Nid yw'r caniatâd cynllunio a roddir drwy hyn yn ymestyn unrhyw hawliau i wneud gwaith ar y system gyflenwi d"{r gyhoeddus heb yn gyntaf gael y caniatâd angenrheidiol sy'n ofynnol gan Ddeddf Diwydiannau D"{r 1991. Rhaid i unrhyw newidiadau i safleoedd presennol sy'n arwain at greu safleoedd ychwanegol neu uno safleoedd presennol gael eu hadeiladu hefyd fel bod pob un wedi'i gysylltu ar wahân â phrif bibell dd"{r y Cwmni a gellir ei fesur ar wahân. Cysylltwch â thîm cysylltiadau newydd D"{r Cymru ar 0800 917 2652 i gael rhagor o wybodaeth am gysylltiadau d"{r. Yn unol â Pholisi Cynllunio Cymru (Argraffiad 12) a Nodyn Cyngor Technegol 12 (Dylunio), cynghorir yr ymgeisydd i fabwysiadu dull cynaliadwy wrth ystyried cyflenwad d"{r mewn cynigion datblygu newydd, gan gynnwys defnyddio dulliau sy'n gwella effeithlonrwydd d"{r ac yn lleihau'r defnydd o dd"{r. Byddem yn argymell bod yr ymgeisydd yn cysylltu â'r adran Rheoli Adeiladu i drafod eu gofynion effeithlonrwydd d"{r. DEDDF RHEOLI LLIFOGYDD A D"[R (DRhLlD/FWMA) 2010 RHEOLIADAU DRAENIO CYNALIADWY (GWEITHDREFN CYMERADWYO A MABWYSIADU) (CYMRU) 2018 Yn dilyn cyflwyno'r ddeddfwriaeth uchod ar 7 Ionawr 2019, mae systemau draenio cynaliadwy wedi dod yn ofyniad gorfodol ar ddatblygiadau newydd o fwy nag 1 t"} annedd neu lle mae'r ardal adeiladu yn 100m2 neu fwy. Ystyrir bod y datblygiad hwn, fel y mae'n ymddangos, yn rhagori ar y trothwy a nodwyd uchod ac efallai y bydd angen caniatâd Systemau Draenio Cynaliadwy (SDCau) gan y Corff Cymeradwyo Systemau Draenio Cynaliadwy (SAB) perthnasol. O ganlyniad, cynghorir chi i gysylltu â'r Corff Cymeradwyo Systemau Draenio Cynaliadwy (SAB) perthnasol yng Nghyngor Gwynedd ( https://www.gwynedd.llyw.cymru/cy/Preswylwyr/Cynllunio-a-rheoli-adeiladu/Cynllunio/Systemau-Draenio-Cynaliadwy.aspx ) i gael cyngor ac arweiniad ar y mater hwn. NODER: Os oes angen caniatâd SUDS bydd angen cymeradwyaeth y SAB cyn dechrau unrhyw waith ar y safle.
