English: I'd be really grateful if you'd share the correspondence with me, so that I can see which authority we're talking about, because it may be that we can have an individual conversation with that authority. The problem with the planning system - a plan-led system, which I absolutely believe in because without that you cannot have a local voice in what's allowed to be built in the local community, and I really do think that people should be allowed to have the community that they want locally - but the problem with the planning system is that it has a lag in it, because when you get planning consent you have permission to build whatever it is you've got consented for a long period of time, before it expires. And, actually, it's not possible or it's highly problematic to retrofit those consents, and that's a matter of some frustration to all of us. So, we still have new houses going up in Wales that don't have sprinklers in them because the particular development was started before that legislation. So, in each of the improvements we've made more recently, we've tried very hard to make sure that, when the new regulation or requirement on planning comes in, it comes in almost immediately that the legislation is passed, but it is not possible to make it go backwards. So, if you've got consent, you've got consent. And that's one of the frustrations, because we do have things still being built to old spec that would not now get planning consent. So, I share your frustration. What we've been trying to do there though is to have a conversation with those house builders about not doing that, because they don't have to do that. They can apply to change the planning consent and we've been offering assistance with doing that. And, actually, I'm pleased to say that I met with one of the very biggest house builders most recently and they've changed their attitude completely and have been talking to me about how they might do that on some of their developments. So, it does show that if you show the way then people will come along that path with you because they can see that it's worth doing. There are some rays of light, but I share your frustration with the lag that the planning system necessarily sets up.
Welsh: Byddwn yn ddiolchgar iawn pe baech yn rhannu'r ohebiaeth â mi, fel y gallaf weld pa awdurdod rydym yn sôn amdano, oherwydd efallai y gallwn gael sgwrs unigol gyda'r awdurdod hwnnw. Y broblem gyda'r system gynllunio - system a arweinir gan gynllun, rhywbeth rwy'n credu ynddo'n llwyr oherwydd heb hynny ni allwch gael llais lleol yn yr hyn y caniateir ei adeiladu yn y gymuned leol, a chredaf mewn gwirionedd y dylid caniatáu i bobl gael y gymuned y maent am ei chael yn lleol - ond y broblem gyda'r system gynllunio yw bod oedi yn y broses, oherwydd pan gewch ganiatâd cynllunio mae'n ganiatâd i adeiladu beth bynnag rydych wedi cael cydsyniad ar ei gyfer am gyfnod hir cyn iddo ddod i ben. Ac mewn gwirionedd, nid yw'n bosibl neu mae'n anodd iawn ôl-addasu'r caniatadau hynny, ac mae hynny'n fater sy'n peri cryn rwystredigaeth i bob un ohonom. Felly, mae gennym dai newydd yn cael eu codi o hyd yng Nghymru heb systemau chwistrellu ynddynt oherwydd bod y datblygiad wedi'i ddechrau cyn y ddeddfwriaeth honno. Felly, ym mhob un o'r gwelliannau rydym wedi'u gwneud yn fwy diweddar, rydym wedi ymdrechu'n galed iawn i sicrhau, pan ddaw'r rheoliad neu'r gofyniad newydd ar gynllunio i mewn, ei fod yn dod bron ar unwaith wedi i'r ddeddfwriaeth gael ei phasio, ond nid yw'n bosibl gwneud iddo fynd am yn ôl. Felly, os ydych chi wedi cael caniatâd, mae gennych ganiatâd. A dyna un o'r pethau sy'n rhwystredig am hyn, oherwydd mae gennym bethau sy'n dal i gael eu hadeiladu yn ôl hen fanylebau na fyddai bellach yn cael caniatâd cynllunio. Felly, rwy'n rhannu eich rhwystredigaeth. Yr hyn rydym wedi bod yn ceisio ei wneud serch hynny yw cael sgwrs gyda'r adeiladwyr tai dan sylw ynglŷn â pheidio â gwneud hynny, oherwydd nid oes rhaid iddynt ei wneud. Gallant wneud cais i newid y caniatâd cynllunio ac rydym wedi bod yn cynnig cymorth i wneud hynny. Ac mewn gwirionedd, rwy'n falch o ddweud fy mod wedi cyfarfod ag un o'r adeiladwyr tai mwyaf yn ddiweddar ac maent wedi newid eu hagwedd yn llwyr ac wedi bod yn siarad â mi ynglŷn â sut y gallent wneud hynny ar rai o'u datblygiadau. Felly, mae'n dangos, os dangoswch chi'r ffordd, bydd pobl yn dod ar hyd y llwybr hwnnw gyda chi oherwydd gallant weld ei fod yn werth ei wneud. Ceir llygedyn o obaith, ond rwy'n rhannu eich rhwystredigaeth ynglŷn â'r oedi y mae'r system gynllunio o reidrwydd yn ei greu.
