A all yr Aelod Cabinet roi eglurhad os gwelwch yn dda ar y cynnig diweddar i sefydlu trydydd safle o fewn y pentrefan bach, er fy mod yn gwerthfawrogi pwysigrwydd darparu llety digonol i'r gymuned Sipsiwn a Theithwyr, rwy'n pryderu am grynodiad safleoedd lluosog mewn un ardal fach. Yn benodol, hoffwn ddeall y rhesymeg y tu ôl i'r penderfyniad hwn a pham nad yw dull mwy gwasgaredig ar draws y sir gyfan, wedi'i ystyried?
Cofnodion:
A allai'r aelod cabinet roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am y gwaith sy'n digwydd ar gylchfan Sant Thomas yn Nhrefynwy?
Cadarnhaodd yr Aelod Cabinet dros Newid Hinsawdd a'r
Amgylchedd fod y gwaith ar gylchfan Sant Thomas wedi'i
gwblhau.
Cwestiwn Atodol:
Roedd yn drueni mawr bod y cerrig palmant cerfiedig â llaw wedi cael eu tynnu yn ystod y gwaith a'u disodli â choncrid. A yw'r cerrig palmant wedi cael eu harbed i'w defnyddio mewn mannau eraill? Hefyd, wrth wneud y gylchfan yn llai, mae system stepiau rhyfedd iawn sydd ar fin disgyn i ffwrdd o fewn y pridd sy'n dal y Senotaff yn y canol. Yn y gorffennol bu arddangosfeydd blodau gwych y mae ein staff cadw tir wedi ymhyfrydu'n fawr ynddynt ac wedi gwneud llawer iawn o waith yn gofalu amdano. Hoffai'r trigolion weld hynny'n cael ei gadw. A yw'n bosibl i ymyl palmant fod mewn sefyllfa braf i ddal y pridd i fyny lle mae wedi'i dorri i ffwrdd ac adfer y gwelyau blodau?
Disgrifiodd yr Aelod Cabinet y gwaith a gwblhawyd ar gylchfan Sant Thomas. Fel rhan o'r llwybr teithio llesol i Drefynwy o ben Wonastow Road, o Rockfield, roedd angen newid trac cerbydau o amgylch y gylchfan, felly mae'r llain ganolog bellach yn hirgrwn yn hytrach na chylch, ac ond yn ddiweddar iawn wedi'i gwblhau, felly nid yw'r plannu wedi'i wneud eto. Mae ystyriaeth yn parhau yngl?n â'r ffordd gywir o blannu. Cadarnhawyd nad yw'r cerrig palmant wedi'u rhestru, dim ond y Senotaff.

to the assessed need from 11 to 7 pitches.
It is proposed, on that basis, to take forward only one of the three sites for inclusion in the Replacement Local Development Plan (RLDP); the site which has the most advantages and the least disadvantages, Bradbury Farm. That proposal has been published in the report to be considered at a Special meeting of the Place Scrutiny Committee on the 24th July 2024. At that meeting, the evidence base for this preferred site will be provided.
Following the Place Scrutiny Committee meeting, any points made and those raised by Councillor Dymock, will be taken into account in a report for a Special Cabinet meeting on the 21st August 2024. If there is Cabinet support for this proposal, it will be included in the RLDP which, in October, Council will be asked to accept as the basis for public consultation throughout November and December.
The residents of Portskewett and Caldicot would have a further chance to comment on this proposal if it were included in that RLDP and was subject to that consultation at that time.
Supplementary Question
Considering the proposed dual development for the RLDP and Gypsy and Traveller site provision, what plans are in place to enhance the local infrastructure, in particular, road safety. This road has reduced visibility on the blind bend, so access and egress will be challenging, noise levels in particular for those living in static accommodation and preserving the nearby area of SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest), the Neddern Brook Wetlands in Caldicot, which is only a few hundred metres away.
The Cabinet Member agreed that the existing highway (Crick Rd)
would not provide suitable access and egress to a Traveller site in
that area. Given the process of a
future planning application and following the RLDP, by the time the
pitches are in place plans will be advanced to develop housing on
the strategic site in Portskewett or Caldicot East. The planning
for that development will have to include a safe walking and
cycling route from the Gypsy and Traveller site through the
residential site to local amenities in Caldicot.
