English: One other thing with having a definition is, of course, you can monitor the situation more effectively and you can map trends such as the problem of overconcentration of second homes and short-term lets being transferred from one community to another. So, certainly, if one wants to keep a long-term eye on this and also understand how these policies and recommendations work on the ground, then one would welcome the moves that we have seen in the consultations to better define what we're talking about.
Welsh: Un peth arall gyda chael diffiniad ydy, wrth gwrs, bod modd monitro a chadw llygaid ar y sefyllfa yn well, ac mae modd mapio tueddiadau megis y broblem o orddwysedd ail gartrefi a llety tymor byr yn cael ei throsglwyddo o un gymuned i'r llall. Felly, yn sicr, os ydy rhywun eisiau cadw llygaid hirdymor ar hyn, a hefyd, wrth gwrs, gweld sut mae'r polisïau a'r awgrymiadau yma'n gweithio ar lawr gwlad, mae rhywun yn croesawu'r symudiadau sydd wedi cael eu gweld yn yr ymgynghoriadau i allu diffinio beth sydd dan sylw yn well.
English: I don't think you'd have to go far. The results of the recent census - . And, of course, we're expecting the result of this next census. It's clear, in looking over the decades, that the percentage of people in those communities where the majority of people do speak Welsh and use the language on a daily basis in the community has seen a decline year on year over the decades, and I think that is quite clear to those who've looked at the results and the evidence to date. And we know that part of that is the fact that people have been pushed out of those communities because of a lack of affordable housing.
Welsh: Dwi ddim yn meddwl y byddai'n rhaid mynd yn bell. Mae canlyniadau'r cyfrifiad diwethaf, er enghraifft - . Ac rŷn ni'n disgwyl, yn amlwg, i'r canlyniadau ddod. Mae'n eithaf amlwg, wrth edrych dros y degawdau, bod y canran o bobl yn y cymunedau yna lle mae'r mwyafrif o bobl yn siarad Cymraeg, ac yn ei defnyddio ar lefel ddyddiol yn y gymuned, wedi gostwng bob blwyddyn dros y degawdau, a dwi'n meddwl bod hwnna'n eithaf amlwg i unrhyw un sydd wedi edrych ar y canlyniadau, y dystiolaeth hyd yn hyn. A dŷn ni'n gwybod mai rhan o hynny ydy'r ffaith bod pobl wedi cael eu gwthio allan o'r cymunedau yna oherwydd diffyg tai fforddiadwy.
English: Perhaps the evidence is more anecdotal, but in addition to what Mabli has said on the number of Welsh speakers, I think we also need to consider the impact of an increasing number of second homes on language usage in a community too. There is anecdotal evidence that demonstrates that those areas where there are high numbers of second homes are areas where there can be an absence of services, because there aren't the people there to sustain them throughout the year. And, as a result of that, you see a situation where there aren't opportunities to use the language, or there are fewer opportunities to use the language. So, there is more anecdotal evidence that shows that it's not just a problem in terms of the number of speakers, but also the influence of second homes on language usage at a local level, which, clearly, is one of the Government's other objectives in terms of the 2050 strategy.
Welsh: Efallai bod y dystiolaeth yn fwy anecdotaidd, ond yn ogystal â beth mae Mabli'n dweud ynglŷn â nifer y siaradwyr, dwi'n credu bod angen inni ystyried hefyd beth yw impact nifer cynyddol o ail dai ar y defnydd o'r iaith yn y gymuned hefyd. Mae yna dystiolaeth anecdotaidd yn dangos bod yr ardaloedd hynny, y cymunedau hynny lle mae yna niferoedd uchel o ail dai, yn rhai lle mae yna ddiffyg gwasanaethau'n gallu bod, achos does yna ddim pobl i'w cynnal nhw drwy gydol y flwyddyn. Ac yn sgil hynny, rŷch chi'n cael sefyllfa lle nad oes yna gyfleon i ddefnyddio'r iaith, neu mae llai o gyfleon i ddefnyddio'r iaith. So, mae yna dystiolaeth fwy anecdotaidd, efallai, sy'n cyfeirio hefyd ei bod hi ddim jest yn broblem o ran niferoedd y siaradwyr, ond hefyd dylanwad ail dai ar ddefnydd iaith yn lleol, sydd, yn amlwg, yn un o amcanion eraill y Llywodraeth yng nghyd-destun y strategaeth 2050.
English: A number of people have argued that the self-reporting, where people report their linguistic abilities, is very different in the annual population survey as compared to the census, and that the numbers of Welsh speakers that are reported according to the annual population survey are a great deal higher than in the census. I'm not sure whether you're comparing there between the census figures and the annual population survey. If so, I'm not sure whether it's a fair comparison. I would wait to see what the next census shows us, to show that we are comparing like with like, if you will.
Welsh: Mae yna nifer o bobl wedi dadlau bod yr hunanadrodd, y self-reporting, sut mae pobl yn adrodd eu gallu ieithyddol, yn wahanol iawn yn yr annual population survey o gymharu â'r cyfrifiad, a bod niferoedd y siaradwyr Cymraeg sy'n cael eu hadrodd yn ôl yr annual population survey dipyn uwch na beth sydd yn y cyfrifiad. Nawr, dwi ddim yn siŵr os taw cymharu ŷch chi fanna rhwng ffigyrau'r cyfrifiad a'r annual population survey. Os hynny, dwi ddim yn siŵr os ydy hi'n gymhariaeth deg. Byddwn i'n efallai aros i gael gweld beth yn union mae'r cyfrifiad nesaf yn ei ddweud, er mwyn dangos inni yn union, ein bod ni'n cymharu pethau tebyg, os liciwch chi.
English: One other issue in terms of the figures to which you refer is that that is county-level data, and in Dr Brooks's report, it talks about changes within individual communities. Certainly, in the last census, we saw a significant decline in the number of communities where the Welsh language was at the golden figure, in a way - 70 per cent of the population in those communities. Of course, time will tell what the situation will be in terms of the next census results. But perhaps we need to look at the county level, but also individual community levels too, in looking at that data.
Welsh: Un mater arall o safbwynt y data rydych chi'n eu dyfynnu yw ei bod hi'n ddigon posib bod y data hynny yn ddata ar lefel sirol, tra'n bod ni'n sôn, fel mae adroddiad Dr Simon Brooks wedi'i nodi, am newidiadau mewn cymunedau unigol. Yn sicr, yn y cyfrifiad diwethaf, mi welsom ni ddirywiad sylweddol yn y nifer o gymunedau lle roedd y Gymraeg yn cael ei siarad. Y ffigwr euraidd, mewn ffordd, ydy 70 y cant o'r boblogaeth yn y cymunedau yna. Yn amlwg, amser a ddengys beth fydd y sefyllfa yn y cyfrifiad sydd newydd digwydd. Ond, ie, efallai bod angen meddwl beth ydy'r darlun ar lefel sirol a'r lefel gymunedol mewn cymunedau unigol, wrth edrych ar y data yna.
English: Well, we're in favour of devolution of the decisions and powers to the most appropriate local level, and, clearly, in order to respond to the different situations in different communities across counties and also within counties, there is a need for that to happen. So, certainly, we want to see a national policy, but one that gives local authorities and communities the power to be able to respond to the situation in their particular areas and to control and manage the planning system and housing market on a local level.
Welsh: Wel, dŷn ni o blaid datganoli'r penderfyniadau a'r grymoedd yna i'r lefel fwyaf lleol priodol, ac, yn amlwg, er mwyn ymateb i'r gwahanol sefyllfaoedd mewn gwahanol gymunedau ar draws siroedd a hefyd o fewn siroedd, mae angen hynny. Felly, yn sicr, dŷn ni am gael polisi cenedlaethol ond un sy'n rhoi'r grym i awdurdodau lleol a chymunedau allu ymateb i'r sefyllfa yn eu hardaloedd nhw, ac actually rheoli'r farchnad dai a'r system cynllunio ar lefel leol.
English: One thing to add in this context. I would agree that we do need a national policy to enable things to be put in place more locally, but one of the things that is becoming apparent from the consultations that we've been responding to is the scale of the challenge, in a way, and also the resources required in order to deliver these national policies at the local level. So, I just wanted to note that as something that needs to be considered. We've already mentioned the need for data and analysis. That needs to be available to local authorities so that they can make those decisions at a local level. So, it's a request that you note that need to empower people at a local level to address the need.
Welsh: Un peth i'w ychwanegu yn hynny o beth. Hynny ydy, buaswn i'n gytûn bod angen polisi cenedlaethol i alluogi yn fwy lleol i bethau gael eu rhoi mewn grym. Ond dwi'n meddwl mai un o'r pethau sy'n dod yn amlwg i ni o'r ymgynghoriadau rydyn ni wedi bod yn ymateb iddyn nhw ydy mawredd y dasg, mewn gwirionedd, a hefyd yr adnoddau sydd eu hangen er mwyn gwireddu'r polisïau cenedlaethol yma ar lefel leol. Jest eisiau nodi hynny fel rhywbeth mae angen rhoi ystyriaeth iddo fo. Rydyn ni eisoes wedi sôn, mewn ffordd, am yr angen am ddata a dadansoddi. Hynny ydy, mae angen i hynny fod ar gael i awdurdodau lleol i fod yn gallu mynd i'r afael ag o er mwyn gwneud y penderfyniadau hynny yn lleol. Wedyn, cais, mewn ffordd, yw i nodi yr angen yna i fod yn gallu arfogi mor lleol â phosib i fynd i'r afael â'r angen.
English: From our perspective, taxation certainly has a role to play in this, and we've been calling for higher taxes on second homes, and we're very pleased to see the recent announcement on that. We're also calling for a tax on landlords' profits and a tax on holiday accommodation in particular. We also support a tourism levy, which is one of the commitments that the Government has made. But it's worth noting that that's only part of the response, that taxation should only be part of the picture and it should be one consideration in a holistic policy that tackles this issue.
Welsh: O'n persbectif ni, yn sicr mae gan drethu rôl i'w chwarae yn hyn a dŷn ni wedi bod yn galw am drethi uwch ar ail dai ac yn falch o weld y cyhoeddiad diweddar. Dŷn ni hefyd yn galw am dreth ar elw landlordiaid, treth ar lety gwyliau yn benodol, a dŷn ni hefyd yn cefnogi treth ar dwristiaeth, sy'n un o'r ymrwymiadau mae'r Llywodraeth wedi ei wneud. Ond mae'n werth nodi mai dim ond rhan o'r ymateb dylai'r trethi fod ac mae angen i hynny eistedd o fewn polisi holistaidd sy'n mynd i'r afael â'r broblem.
English: If I could respond to that in relation to the comments I made earlier, because, from our perspective, we don't believe that there is a value in and of themselves to second homes, and there's a fundamental principle here in the fact that some people have more than one home whilst others can't afford a home in the first instance, and that's what needs to change. So, in terms of the aims of the policy on taxation, then, yes, for us, the aim is to change the incentives within the market, because at the moment all of the market incentives all treat houses as assets rather than things that provide homes for local people. So, through taxation at that level, it changes the incentives. But in terms of the other measures that need to be put in place, such as the cap on second homes and holiday accommodation and a priority for local people in the market, that's what we need. In terms of the broader points, I think that everybody wants to see well-paid employment in all parts of Wales. Everyone wants to see our communities prosper in all parts of Wales.
Welsh: Os gallaf i jest ateb hynny o'r sylwadau gwnes i gynt, achos o'n persbectif ni, dydyn ni ddim yn credu bod yna werth ynddo'i hun i ail dai, ac mae yna egwyddor sylfaenol fan hyn o'r ffaith bod gan rai bobl fwy nag un tŷ tra nad yw eraill yn gallu fforddio un o gwbl, a dyna beth sydd angen ei newid. Felly, o ran nod y polisi gyda'r trethi, ie, i ni, y nod yw newid yr incentive sydd gyda ni yn y farchnad, achos ar hyn o bryd mae'r holl incentives yn y farchnad i gyd am drin tai fel eiddo i wneud elw yn lle cartrefi i bobl leol, a dyna beth sydd angen ei newid. Felly, drwy drethu i'r lefel yna, mae'n newid yr incentives. Ond eto, o ran y mesurau eraill sydd eu hangen, fel y cap ar ail dai a llety gwyliau, fel blaenoriaeth i bobl leol yn y farchnad, dyna beth sydd ei angen. Ac o ran y pwyntiau ehangach, dwi'n meddwl bod pawb eisiau gweld swyddi sy'n talu'n dda ymhob rhan o Gymru. Mae pawb eisiau gweld ein cymunedau'n ffynnu ymhob man.
English: Yes, certainly, jobs, that is part of the picture, and economic development in the wider sense, and I think it calls for a different response from the point of view of the communities that are under threat in terms of their viability as a result of second homes and short-term holiday lets. In truth, if we were to take tourism as an example, it's about making that industry work more for the benefit of the community itself. That is, tourism, it's a service, it's a culture, there is nothing wrong with it, but the relationship between communities and tourism at the moment tends to be servile, in a sense. The communities and the people living in those communities need to have more control over their economies and their own futures. That partly relates to the situation with regard to housing and the availability of housing, but it's also a question of economic development in the long term, in a sensitive way too.
Welsh: Ie, yn sicr, swyddi, mae hynny yn rhan o'r darlun, a datblygiad economaidd ehangach, a dwi'n meddwl fod o'n gofyn am ymateb gwahanol o safbwynt cymunedau sydd o dan fygythiad o ran hyfywedd gan ail gartrefi a llety tymor byr. Mewn gwirionedd, beth ydy o ydy - pe baem ni'n cymryd twristiaeth, er enghraifft - gwneud i'r diwydiant yna weithio yn fwy er lles y gymuned ei hun. Hynny yw, mae twristiaeth, mae o'n wasanaeth, mae o'n ddiwylliant, does yna ddim byd o'i le arno fo, ond mae perthynas y cymunedau â thwristiaeth, ar hyn o bryd, yn tueddu i fod yn wasaidd, a dweud y gwir. Mae angen i'r cymunedau a'r bobl yn y cymunedau yna gael fwy o reolaeth ar eu heconomi a'u dyfodol eu hunain. Mae hynny'n rhannol yn ymwneud â'r sefyllfa o ran tai a lletai, ond mae o hefyd, wrth gwrs, yn gwestiwn o ddatblygu economaidd hirdymor, sensitif hefyd.
English: Certainly, there is a key role for planning in this area, and these changes have been required for many years. Just very briefly, to allow others to contribute, I think that the framework should allow local authorities and planning authorities to operate confidently in supporting the Welsh language. I do think that the situation has been rather ambiguous in the past, and so the system should allow robust action in favour of the Welsh language, and one welcomes every suggestion in the Dr Brooks report that allows that.
Welsh: Yn sicr, mae yna rôl allweddol i gynllunio yma, ac mae wedi bod angen - . Mae'r newidiadau yma, mae wedi bod eu hangen nhw ers blynyddoedd lawer. Jest yn fras iawn, er mwyn gadael i bawb siarad, dwi'n meddwl y dylai'r fframwaith ganiatáu i awdurdodau lleol ac awdurdodau cynllunio allu gweithredu yn hyderus o blaid y Gymraeg. Dwi'n meddwl bod y sefyllfa wedi bod braidd yn niwlog yn y gorffennol, ac felly, ie, mi ddylai'r cyfundrefn ganiatáu gweithredu cadarn o blaid y Gymraeg, ac mae rhywun yn croesawu pob un awgrym yn adroddiad Dr Brooks sydd yn caniatáu hynna.
English: Yes, just to say that we have welcomed the proposals from the Government recently in terms of creating the new use classes with regard to holiday accommodation and second homes, and we're in favour of making it a requirement to make a planning application to change the use of a property to be a second home or holiday accommodation. We also think that it's vital that the default is that any house should be a primary residence, and so, if a second home or holiday accommodation were to go back on the market, we think that the default should be that that should be a primary residence. As we understand it from the Government's plans, that isn't part of the plan, so it doesn't go far enough, in our view, because we need to take more of the housing stock back into being homes for local people in a number of areas, not just stopping things as they currently are.
Welsh: Ie, jest i ddweud dŷn ni wedi croesawu'r cynigion gan y Llywodraeth yn ddiweddar o ran creu dosbarthiadau defnydd newydd ar lety gwyliau ac ail dai, ac dŷn ni o blaid ei wneud e'n ofynnol i wneud cais cynllunio i newid tŷ i fod yn dŷ llety gwyliau, neu ail dŷ. Dŷn ni hefyd yn meddwl ei fod yn hollbwysig mai'r default yw y dylai unrhyw dŷ fod yn gartref prif breswyl, ac felly os oedd ail dŷ neu lety gwyliau yn mynd nôl ar y farchnad, fel petai, dŷn ni'n credu dylai hwnna wedyn - . Y default yw y dylai hwnna wedyn fod yn dŷ prif breswyl, ac, o beth rydyn ni'n deall o gynlluniau'r Llywodraeth, dyw hynny ddim yn rhan o'r cynlluniau, ac felly dyw e ddim yn mynd yn ddigon pell, achos mae angen cymryd mwy o'r stoc tai nôl mewn i fod yn gartrefi pobl leol mewn nifer o ardaloedd, nid jest stopio pethau fel y maen nhw nawr.
English: Yes. I would say that we welcome the changes proposed at the moment in terms of issues around planning. Having said that, we do have some concerns about the impacts of some changes in some areas on other areas, and, as Mabli mentioned, what happens when a home is sold. Dr Brooks has noted, of course, that houses, or, rather, that second homes often become primary residences in due time, but who can afford that home when it is sold when the price is already very high indeed? But, yes, in its essence, we need to use the planning system as much as possible in order to tackle this problem.
Welsh: Ie. Hynny ydy, buaswn i'n dweud ein bod ni'n croesawu'r newidiadau sy'n cael eu cynnig ar hyn o bryd ar gyfer mynd i'r afael o safbwynt cynllunio. O ddweud hynny, mae gennym ni rywfaint o bryderon ynglŷn â sgil-effeithiau'r newidiadau yma mewn rhai mannau ar fannau eraill, ac eto, fel roedd Mabli yn sôn, beth sy'n digwydd pan yw cartref yn symud ymlaen i'r farchnad, hynny ydy, yn cael ei werthu. Mae Dr Brooks wedi nodi, wrth gwrs, fod tai sy'n mynd yn nôl - . Hynny ydy, mae ail gartrefi yn aml iawn yn troi yn brif gartrefi hefyd maes o law, ond, wrth gwrs, pwy sydd yn medru fforddio'r tŷ pan yw'n cael ei werthu pan fo'r pris eisoes yn andros o uchel? Ond ie - . Hynny ydy, yn ei hanfod, dwi'n meddwl bod angen gallu mynd mor - . Mae angen defnyddio trefn gynllunio i'r graddau eithaf posibl i fod yn mynd i'r afael efo'r broblem yma, felly.
English: Good morning, Jonathan. Thank you very much to you for joining us this morning. Very briefly, do you think that it's possible to have too many second homes in any one community?
Welsh: Bore da, Jonathan. Diolch yn fawr iawn ichi am ymuno efo ni bore yma. Yn sydyn iawn, ydych chi'n meddwl bod y fath beth yn bosibl â chael gormod o ail dai mewn unrhyw un gymuned?
English: Thank you. I will be speaking through the medium of Welsh too. We, as Grŵp Cynefin, would certainly welcome the recommendations within Dr Brooks's report. There are a number, of course, of further consultations that have taken place since then, and we've taken part, and a key part, in responding to those consultations. There is a need for a little bit more in terms of our response to the recommendations, or the danger is that we will have lost the goodwill within communities. The communities are ready and eager to act and to see these recommendations being pursued and to see us developing solutions to the issues. On their own, these solutions aren't going to make a great deal of difference, in my view, but taken together, for example the announcement recently with regard to the right to increase council tax up to 300 per cent - we need to get other things in place too immediately on that to make a genuine difference. I personally live in one of the areas that have been affected, and I've seen personally what the impact is on a community, on the Welsh language, and I am more than ready to share more in terms of my experiences later on in this morning's session. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch. Mi fyddaf innau'n siarad trwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg hefyd. Mi fyddem ni, fel Grŵp Cynefin, yn sicr yn croesawu'r argymhellion sydd o fewn adroddiad Dr Brooks. Mae yna nifer, wrth gwrs, o ymgynghoriadau pellach wedi digwydd ers hynny, ac rydym wedi cymryd rhan allweddol wrth ymateb i'r ymgynghoriadau hynny. Mae angen ychydig bach yn fwy o gyflymder yn sut dŷn ni'n mynd i fod yn ymateb i'r argymhellion, neu y peryg ydy y byddwn ni wedi colli'r ewyllys da sydd o fewn cymunedau. Mae'r cymunedau'n barod ac yn awyddus i weithio a gweld yr argymhellion yma'n cael eu symud ymlaen a'n gweld ni yn datblygu datrysiadau i'r problemau. Ar ben eu hunain, dydy'r datrysiadau ddim yn mynd i wneud llawer o wahaniaeth, yn fy marn i, ond wedi eu cyfuno, er enghraifft y datganiad fuodd yn ddiweddar am yr hawl i godi treth y cyngor i fyny i 300 y cant - mae angen cael pethau eraill mewn lle ar unwaith ar hwnna er mwyn gwneud gwir wahaniaeth. Dwi'n bersonol hefyd yn byw o fewn un o'r ardaloedd sydd wedi cael eu heffeithio a dwi wedi gweld yn bersonol beth ydy'r effaith ar gymuned, ar yr iaith Gymraeg, a dwi'n fwy na pharod i rannu mwy ar beth ydy fy mhrofiadau i nes ymlaen yn ystod y sesiwn bore yma. Diolch.
English: Thank you very much. The availability of land, the price of land - those are some of the factors, and also the availability of contractors. Companies of the scale required to develop housing aren't interested in coming to rural areas because the costs will be higher and their profit margin will be narrower. So, it is possible to collaborate with small, local contractors, and to give them the confidence to tender and to collaborate more effectively with each other. We also know that construction costs have increased recently. I have some statistics here in terms of cost per square metre. It's increased from £1,900 to £2,500 recently. Now, those are live statistics. We're also aware of the increases that there have been in materials costs and in salary cost. You're talking about at least 20 per cent, up to 35 per cent increase in terms of some building materials. So that, in and of itself, will mean that building in rural areas will be more expensive, and we need funding to support that. And, of course, as a sector, we welcome the fact that Welsh Government has already given a good allocation for building homes across Wales, but I think we need to consider rurality on top of the formula currently used in building homes and houses. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr. Argaeledd tir, pris tir - dyna ydy rhai o'r ffactorau, a hefyd argaeledd contractwyr. Dydy cwmnïau sydd o'r maint sydd ei angen i ddatblygu tai, does ganddyn nhw ddim diddordeb mewn dod i lefydd cefn gwlad achos mae'r costau'n mynd i fod yn uwch ac mae eu profit margin nhw'n mynd i fod yn llai. Felly, mae'n bosib cydweithio efo contractwyr bach lleol, o bosib, a rhoi'r hyder iddyn nhw i fod yn tendro ac yn cydweithio yn well efo'i gilydd. Dŷn ni'n gwybod hefyd fod costau adeiladu eu hunain wedi cynyddu yn ddiweddar. Mae gen i ystadegau fan hyn o ran cost fesul metr sgwâr. Mae o wedi codi o £1,900 y metr sgwâr i £2,500, yn ddiweddar, y metr sgwâr. Mae'r rhain yn ystadegau byw rŵan. Dŷn ni hefyd yn ymwybodol o'r cynnydd sydd wedi bod mewn costau deunyddiau a hefyd cyflogaeth. Dŷch chi'n sôn am o leiaf 20 y cant, weithiau i fyny i 35 y cant mewn rhai deunyddiau adeiladu. Felly, mae hynny ynddo'i hun yn mynd i fod yn golygu bod adeiladu mewn ardaloedd gwledig dipyn uwch, ac mae'n rhaid cael yr arian ar gyfer cefnogi hynny. Ac, wrth gwrs, dŷn ni fel sector yn croesawu'r ffaith bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn barod wedi rhoi dosraniad hael tuag at adeiladu tai fforddiadwy ar draws Cymru, ond dwi'n meddwl bod angen ystyried ffactor ardaloedd gwledig hefyd uwchben y fformiwla sy'n cael ei defnyddio wrth ddatblygu tai. Diolch.
