English: Yes, I'd probably agree with that. The problem with the word 'beautiful' is that it's obviously subjective. So, what we're doing is we're using it as a short-term word for 'built to very good and exacting standards'. So, you might not look at a house and think, 'Gosh, that's beautiful', but another person might; but what you will be able to say is, 'It's built to a high quality, with good-sized rooms, good light, and good sources of everything else', and the fact that you don't like it because it's pink or blue won't matter. And actually, one of the things we're looking at doing with local authorities that are developing some of this alongside us is having pattern books, so that they can pre-approve planning applications for particular sets of patterns of housing that obviously conform to all of the highest design quality requirements - the DQR, as they call it - but obviously look different. Because people have a different idea of what beautiful looks like. What we mean by beautiful is beautiful in size, in space, in energy efficiency, in liveability, and then whether you think it's green or pink on the outside is a matter for you and for the rest of the development. So, I do think it's important to make that point. But we are designing that in, and we are rapidly going - in our consultation on Part L and the White Paper that will follow it - towards having the same space standards and the same beauty standards across Wales for all types of housing, and not differential as they are now. Mike Hedges I think pointed out that, at the moment, if you have social housing in Wales, you're probably in a better standard home than if you've recently bought one. I don't know that everybody knows that, and I don't have problem with that from a social housing point of view, but I do have a problem with it for the sustainability of the private sector. So, we are rapidly going towards having the same standards throughout.
Welsh: Byddwn, fe fyddwn i'n cytuno â hynny, mae'n debyg. Y broblem gyda'r gair 'harddwch' yw mai rhywbeth goddrychol yw hynny, yn amlwg. Felly, yr hyn yr ydym ni'n ei wneud yw ein bod ni'n ei ddefnyddio fel gair byrdymor am 'adeiladwyd yn ôl safonau da iawn a manwl iawn'. Efallai na fyddech chi'n edrych ar dŷ ac yn meddwl, 'Wel, am hardd', ond efallai y byddai unigolyn arall yn gwneud hynny; ond yr hyn y gallech ei ddweud yw, 'Fe gafodd hwn ei adeiladu i safon uchel, gydag ystafelloedd o faint da, golau da, a ffynonellau da o bopeth arall', ac ni fyddai'r ffaith nad ydych chi'n ei hoffi oherwydd ei fod yn binc neu'n las yn bwysig. A dweud y gwir, un o'r pethau yr ydym ni'n ystyried eu gwneud gydag awdurdodau lleol sy'n datblygu rhan o hyn gyda ni yw cael llyfrau o batrymau, fel y gallan nhw gymeradwyo ceisiadau cynllunio o flaen llaw am setiau arbennig o dai sydd yn amlwg yn cydymffurfio â'r gofynion ansawdd dylunio uchaf - y DQR, fel y'u gelwir - ond maen nhw'n edrych yn wahanol i'w gilydd, mae'n amlwg. Oherwydd mae gan bobl wahanol syniadau ynglŷn â'r hyn y mae harddwch yn ei olygu. Ystyr harddwch i ni yw hardd o ran maint, lle, effeithlonrwydd ynni, a sut le ydyw i fyw ynddo, ac yna os ydych chi'n meddwl mai gwyrdd neu binc y dylai fod ar y tu allan, wel mater i chi ac i weddill y datblygiad fyddai hynny. Felly, rwy'n credu ei bod yn bwysig gwneud y pwynt hwnnw. Ond rydym ni'n cynnwys hynny yn y dylunio, ac rydym ni'n prysur symud - yn ein hymgynghoriad ni ar Ran L a'r Papur Gwyn a fydd yn dilyn - tuag at fod â'r un safonau o ran lle a'r un safonau o ran harddwch ledled Cymru ar gyfer pob math o dai, ac nid yn wahaniaethol fel y maen nhw ar hyn o bryd. Fe ddywedodd Mike Hedges, rwy'n credu, ar hyn o bryd, os oes gennych chi dŷ cymdeithasol yng Nghymru, mae'n debyg eich bod chi mewn cartref o safon well na phe baech chi wedi prynu un yn ddiweddar. Ni wn a yw pawb yn gwybod hynny, ac nid oes gennyf i broblem â hynny o safbwynt tai cymdeithasol, ond mae gennyf broblem â hynny o ran cynaliadwyedd y sector preifat. Felly, rydym ni'n prysur anelu at gael yr un safonau drwyddi draw.
