English: I'm sorry, I have to disagree on that one, and I think there are probably about 1,500 objectors, many residents and locally elected councillors in Aberconwy who would disagree with that, simply for the fact that I, along with many democratically elected members, have spent a lot of time and have worked to oppose controversial housing developments in Aberconwy. These were where applications came forward for land not designated to be in the local development plan, subjected to an inquiry, and yet, before a decision was made, at the eleventh hour, when 'Planning Policy Wales - Edition 10' came in, despite us being able to contribute to the original application and the hearing, we were not allowed, nor were the 1,300 others of us, to make representations. Only the local authority and only the developer were invited to come forward with new evidence. Now, that is contrary to other parts of the UK. The reason given for this is that the evidence was Welsh Ministers' policy. Clearly, that is unfair and unreasonable, when subsection 47 (7) of the Town and Country Planning (Referred Applications and Appeals Procedure) (Wales) Regulations 2017 allows representations to be invited when there is any new evidence. But, in this instance, Welsh Ministers have decided that that isn't correct. So, I'm going to ask you again whether you would look again at this, as the Counsel General, because I think it is - well, it is - a flaw in our legislation here in Wales, and whether you would perhaps work with the Welsh Government, in particular the Minister for Housing and Local Government, to look at reviewing this situation. Because we need a system in Wales, as regards our planning system, where there has to be fairer planning inquiries, because it's a very expensive procedure, and it's one that, in this instance, on two very weak applications, but very strongly fought applications by the developer, we saw legislation in Wales that has actually really disadvantaged us in my constituency. So, it's something that I will continue fighting on until I see that legislation changed, but I would ask you, in your position, whether you would support us on that.
Welsh: Mae'n ddrwg gennyf, mae'n rhaid imi anghytuno â hynny. Rwyf i o'r farn fod yna tua 1,500 o wrthwynebwyr, a llawer o drigolion a chynghorwyr etholedig yn Aberconwy, a fyddai'n anghytuno â hynny, yn syml oherwydd y ffaith fy mod i, ynghyd â llawer o aelodau sydd wedi eu hethol yn ddemocrataidd, wedi treulio llawer o amser ac wedi gweithio i wrthwynebu datblygiadau tai dadleuol yn Aberconwy. Roedd y rhain yn digwydd pan ddeuai ceisiadau gerbron ar gyfer tir nad yw wedi ei ddynodi yn y cynllun datblygu lleol, yn destun ymchwiliad, ac eto, cyn i benderfyniad gael ei wneud, ar yr unfed awr ar ddeg, pan gafwyd 'Polisi Cynllunio Cymru - Rhifyn 10', er ein bod ni'n gallu cyfrannu at y cais gwreiddiol a'r gwrandawiad, ni roddwyd caniatâd i ni, na'r 1,300 arall ohonom chwaith, wneud sylwadau. Dim ond yr awdurdod lleol a'r datblygwr a gafodd wahoddiad i gyflwyno tystiolaeth newydd. Nawr, mae hynny'n groes i rannau eraill y DU. Y rheswm a roddwyd am hyn yw mai polisi Gweinidogion Cymru oedd y dystiolaeth. Yn amlwg, mae hynny'n annheg ac yn afresymol, tra bod is-adran 47 (7) Rheoliadau Cynllunio Gwlad a Thref (Gweithdrefn Apeliadau a Chyfeirio Ceisiadau) (Cymru) 2017 yn caniatáu i sylwadau gael eu gwahodd pan fo unrhyw dystiolaeth newydd. Ond, yn yr achos hwn, mae Gweinidogion Cymru wedi penderfynu nad yw hynny'n gywir. Felly, rwy'n gofyn i chi eto a fyddech chi'n barod i edrych ar hyn eto, fel Cwnsler Cyffredinol, oherwydd fy mod o'r farn bod hyn - wel, y mae - yn wendid yn ein deddfwriaeth yma yng Nghymru, ac a fyddech efallai yn gweithio gyda Llywodraeth Cymru, yn enwedig y Gweinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol, i ystyried adolygu'r sefyllfa hon. Mae angen system arnom ni yng Nghymru, system gynllunio lle mae'n rhaid cael ymchwiliadau cynllunio tecach. Mae'n weithdrefn ddrud iawn, ac yn yr achos hwn, mewn dau gais gwan iawn, ond ceisiadau yr ymladdodd y datblygwr amdanyn nhw'n daer iawn, fe welsom ddeddfwriaeth yng Nghymru sydd wedi ein rhoi ni dan anfantais wirioneddol yn fy etholaeth i. Felly, mae hyn yn rhywbeth y byddaf yn parhau i'w ymladd hyd nes y gwelaf y ddeddfwriaeth honno'n cael ei newid, ond rwy'n gofyn ichi, yn eich swydd chi, a fyddech chi'n ein cefnogi ni yn hyn o beth.
