First Minister Mark Drakeford and leader of Plaid Cymru Adam Price set out the next steps in a programme of actions to help create thriving communities and to support people to afford a home, in a joint press conference today (Monday 4 July).


The Co\-operation Agreement between the Welsh Government and Plaid Cymru includes a commitment to tackle the issue of second homes affecting many communities in Wales.


The package of measures being announced today includes:


* Changes to planning regulations by the end of the summer. These will introduce three new planning use classes – a primary home, a second home and short\-term holiday accommodation. Local planning authorities, where they have evidence, will be able to make amendments to the planning system to require planning permission for change of use from one class to another. We will also introduce changes to national planning policy to give local authorities the ability to control the number of second homes and holiday lets in any community.
* Plans to introduce a statutory licensing scheme for all visitor accommodation, including short\-term holiday lets, making it a requirement to obtain a license. This will help raise standards across the tourism industry.
* Following a consultation about varying land transaction tax locally in areas with large numbers of second homes, work will start today (Monday 4 July) with local authorities to develop a national framework so they can request increased land transaction tax rates for second homes and holiday lets to be applied in their local area.


The Welsh Government has already introduced a range of measures to address the issue of second homes, including giving councils the discretionary power to increase council tax premiums on second and empty homes and it has changed the rules on holiday lets so owners and operators make a fair contribution to their local communities.


First Minister Mark Drakeford said: 



> We are today setting out the next steps in a radical programme to ensure everyone has the opportunity to afford to live in their local community – whether that’s buying or renting a home.
> 
> 
> We have a shared ambition for Wales to be a nation of thriving communities – a country where people do not have to leave to find good and rewarding work and a country which people want to come to visit and to live.
> 
> 
> Tourism is vital to our economy but having too many holiday properties and second homes, which are empty for much of the year, does not make for healthy local communities and prices people out of the local housing market.
> 
> 
> There is no single, simple solution to these issues. Any action we take must be fair. We do not want to create any unintended consequences, which could destabilise the wider housing market or make it harder for people to rent or buy.


Plaid Cymru Leader Adam Price said:



> We are committed to using a range of planning, taxation and property levers to tackle the issue of second and unaffordable homes – and to do so with urgency.
> 
> 
> The package of purposeful measures that have been developed as a result of the constructive cooperation between Plaid Cymru and the Government in this area will, together, begin to address the injustices in our housing system and make a real difference to people and communities right across our nation.
> 
> 
> The aim is to give everyone ‘yr hawl i fyw adra’– the ability to live and work in the communities in which they grew up.

Amlinellodd y Prif Weinidog Mark Drakeford ac arweinydd Plaid Cymru Adam Price y camau nesaf mewn rhaglen o gamau gweithredu i helpu i greu cymunedau ffyniannus ac i gefnogi pobl i fforddio cartref, mewn cynhadledd i’r wasg ar y cyd heddiw (Dydd Llun 4 Gorffennaf).


Mae'r Cytundeb Cydweithredu rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru a Phlaid Cymru yn cynnwys ymrwymiad i fynd i’r afael â phroblem ail gartrefi sy’n effeithio ar lawer o gymunedau yng Nghymru.


Mae’r pecyn o fesurau sy’n cael ei gyhoeddi heddiw yn cynnwys y canlynol:


* Bydd tri dosbarth defnydd cynllunio newydd yn cael eu cyflwyno – prif gartref, ail gartref a llety gwyliau tymor byr. Bydd awdurdodau cynllunio lleol yn gallu, lle mae ganddyn nhw dystiolaeth, gwneud newidiadau i’r system gynllunio a fydd yn gorfodi cael ganiatâd cynllunio ar gyfer newid defnydd o un dosbarth i’r llall. Fe fyddwn hefyd yn cyflwyno newidiadau i bolisi cynllunio cenedlaethol i alluogi awdurdodau lleol i reoli nifer yr ail gartrefi a’r llety gwyliau mewn unrhyw gymuned.
* Cynlluniau i gyflwyno cynllun trwyddedu statudol ar gyfer llety gwyliau tymor byr, gan ei gwneud yn ofynnol cael trwydded i weithredu llety gwyliau tymor byr. Bydd hyn yn helpu i reoli'r system dai ac yn helpu i godi safonau ar draws y diwydiant twristiaeth.
* Yn dilyn ymgynghoriad ynghylch amrywio’r dreth trafodiadau tir yn lleol mewn ardaloedd â niferoedd mawr o ail gartrefi, bydd gwaith yn dechrau heddiw (dydd Llun 4 Gorffennaf) gydag awdurdodau lleol i ddatblygu fframwaith cenedlaethol fel eu bod yn gallu gofyn am gyfraddau treth trafodiadau tir uwch ar gyfer ail gartrefi a llety gwyliau i'w rhoi ar waith yn eu hardal leol.


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru eisoes wedi cyflwyno ystod o fesurau i fynd i’r afael â’r broblem ail gartrefi, gan gynnwys rhoi’r pŵer dewisol i gynghorau gynyddu premiymau’r dreth gyngor ar ail gartrefi a chartrefi gwag ac mae wedi newid y rheolau ar gyfer llety gwyliau fel bod perchnogion a gweithredwyr yn gwneud cyfraniad teg at eu cymunedau lleol.


Dywedodd y Prif Weinidog Mark Drakeford:



> Heddiw, rydyn ni’n nodi’r camau nesaf mewn rhaglen radical i sicrhau bod pawb yn cael y cyfle i fforddio byw yn eu cymuned leol – boed hynny drwy brynu neu rentu cartref.
> 
> 
> Mae gennym ni uchelgais a rennir i Gymru fod yn genedl o gymunedau ffyniannus – gwlad lle nad oes raid i bobl adael i ddod o hyd i waith da sy’n rhoi boddhad a gwlad y mae pobl eisiau dod i ymweld â hi ac i fyw ynddi.
> 
> 
> Mae twristiaeth yn hanfodol i’n heconomi ni ond nid yw cael gormod o dai haf ac ail gartrefi, sy’n wag am ran helaeth o’r flwyddyn, yn creu cymunedau lleol iach ac maent yn prisio pobl allan o’r farchnad dai leol.
> 
> 
> Nid oes un ateb syml i’r problemau hyn. Rhaid i unrhyw gamau rydyn ni’n eu cymryd fod yn deg. Nid ydym eisiau creu unrhyw ganlyniadau anfwriadol, a allai ansefydlogi’r farchnad dai ehangach neu ei gwneud yn anos i bobl rentu neu brynu.


Dywedodd Arweinydd Plaid Cymru Adam Price:



> Rydyn ni wedi ymrwymo i ddefnyddio ystod o ysgogiadau cynllunio, trethiant ac eiddo i fynd i’r afael â phroblem ail gartrefi a chartrefi anfforddiadwy – ac i wneud hynny ar fyrder.
> 
> 
> Bydd y pecyn o fesurau pwrpasol sydd wedi’u datblygu o ganlyniad i’r cydweithio adeiladol rhwng Plaid Cymru a’r Llywodraeth yn y maes hwn, gyda’i gilydd, yn dechrau mynd i’r afael â’r anghyfiawnderau yn ein system dai ac yn gwneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol i bobl a chymunedau ar draws ein cenedl.
> 
> 
> Y nod yw rhoi’r ‘hawl i fyw adra’ i bawb, a’r gallu i fyw a gweithio yn y cymunedau maent wedi cael eu magu ynddynt.
