The Minister provided a number of key updates which included progress on the Welsh Government’s Developers Pact – a pledge designed for companies to confirm their intention to address fire safety issues in buildings of 11 metres and over in height that they have developed over the last 30 years.


The Minister confirmed major developers have signed up to the pact and, in some cases, remediation work has started.  

Developers who have signed the pact are Persimmon, Taylor Wimpey, Lovell, McCarthy and Stone, Countryside, Vistry, Redrow, Crest Nicholson and Barratt.


The Minister said:



> I have always made it clear that I do not expect leaseholders to bear the cost of repairing fire safety issues that are not of their making and that I expect developers to step up to their responsibilities.
> 
> 
> I am very pleased that following our roundtable meeting in July a number of major developers have acknowledged their responsibility by signing up to the Welsh Government’s Developers Pact. 
> 
> 
> I met with these developers yesterday to confirm next steps, and their plans and timescales for remediation. 
> 
> 
> I wish to commend them for their engagement to date and look forward to a productive relationship in the future. 
> 
> 
> In some cases, developers have started their remediation works, and are making the repairs necessary and I look forward to this work continuing at pace.


The Minister also provided key updates on vital survey work carried out through the Welsh Building Safety Fund, reforming the current legislative system, the Leaseholder Support Scheme and on reimbursing those who have already paid for survey work.  


The Minister added:



> I have been made aware that in a number of cases, survey work was undertaken prior to the launch of the Welsh Building Safety Fund, funded by residents, building owners or managing agents. 
> 
> 
> Where this has happened, and subject to certain eligibility criteria being met, I can confirm that surveys costs will be reimbursed by Welsh Government. 
> 
> 
> While it is right that developers take responsibility for defects that they are accountable, building owners and Managing Agents also have accountabilities when it comes to ensuring the safety of buildings and it is important that effective maintenance programmes are in place.  
> 
> 
> I would encourage all residents to assure themselves that maintenance on their buildings is being carried out in accordance with their lease agreements.

Rhoddodd y Gweinidog nifer o ddiweddariadau allweddol a oedd yn cynnwys cynnydd ar Gytundeb Datblygwyr Llywodraeth Cymru \- addewid a grëwyd i gwmnïau gadarnhau eu bwriad i fynd i'r afael â materion diogelwch tân mewn adeiladau 11 metr a throsodd o uchder y mae nhw wedi'u datblygu dros y 30 mlynedd diwethaf.


Cadarnhaodd y Gweinidog fod datblygwyr mawr wedi ymrwymo i'r cytundeb ac, mewn rhai achosion, mae gwaith adfer wedi dechrau.


Y datblygwyr sydd wedi arwyddo'r cytundeb yw Persimmon, Taylor Wimpey, Lovell, McCarthy a Stone, Countryside, Vistry, Redrow, Crest Nicholson a Barratt.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog:



> Rwyf wastad wedi ei gwneud hi'n glir nad wyf yn disgwyl i lesddalwyr ysgwyddo'r gost o atgyweirio pethau sy’n gysylltiedig â diogelwch tân nad ydynt yn gyfrifol amdanynt a'm bod yn disgwyl i ddatblygwyr dderbyn eu cyfrifoldebau.
> 
> 
> Yn dilyn ein cyfarfod bwrdd crwn ym mis Gorffennaf, rwy'n falch iawn bod nifer o ddatblygwyr mawr wedi cydnabod eu cyfrifoldeb drwy ymuno â Chytundeb Datblygwyr Llywodraeth Cymru. 
> 
> 
> Fe wnes i gyfarfod â'r datblygwyr hyn ddoe i gadarnhau'r camau nesaf, a'u cynlluniau a'u hamserlenni ar gyfer adfer. 
> 
> 
> Hoffwn eu cymeradwyo am eu hymgysylltiad hyd yma ac rwy'n edrych ymlaen at berthynas gynhyrchiol yn y dyfodol. 
> 
> 
> Mewn rhai achosion, mae datblygwyr wedi dechrau eu gwaith adfer, ac yn gwneud y gwaith atgyweirio angenrheidiol ac rwy'n edrych ymlaen at weld y gwaith hwn yn parhau yn ddi\-oed.


Rhoddodd y Gweinidog ddiweddariadau allweddol hefyd ar waith arolygu hanfodol a wnaed drwy Gronfa Diogelwch Adeiladau Cymru, diwygio'r system ddeddfwriaethol bresennol, y Cynllun Cymorth Lesddalwyr ac ynghylch ad\-dalu'r rhai sydd eisoes wedi talu am waith arolygu.  


Ychwanegodd y Gweinidog:



> Rwyf wedi cael gwybod bod gwaith arolygu wedi'i wneud cyn lansio Cronfa Diogelwch Adeiladau Cymru, sy'n cael ei ariannu gan drigolion, perchnogion adeiladau neu asiantau rheoli.
> 
> 
> Pan fo hyn wedi digwydd, ac yn amodol ar fodloni meini prawf cymhwysedd penodol, gallaf gadarnhau y bydd costau'r arolygon yn cael eu had\-dalu gan Lywodraeth Cymru.
> 
> 
> Er ei bod yn iawn bod datblygwyr yn cymryd cyfrifoldeb am ddiffygion y maent yn atebol amdanynt, mae perchnogion adeiladau ac Asiantau Rheoli yn gyfrifol hefyd am sicrhau diogelwch adeiladau ac mae'n bwysig bod rhaglenni cynnal a chadw effeithiol ar waith. 
> 
> 
> Byddwn yn annog pob un o'r trigolion i sicrhau eu hunain bod gwaith cynnal a chadw ar eu hadeiladau yn cael ei wneud yn unol â'u cytundebau prydles.
