English: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. We talk about how we're keen to increase house building and construction in Wales, both to provide housing and to generate economic growth, yet the reality is we put more and more restrictions and conditions on what developers have to do before they are allowed to develop. One of these has been the sustainable urban drainage requirements. When I served on the Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee, we were looking into the small and medium house builders and received evidence emphasising the drainage requirements as a particular problem, in many cases requiring drainage arrangements that were ongoing and required estate management and very significant regulatory work that added a lot of cost to the developments. There were also very substantial complaints about Dŵr Cymru - Dŵr Cymru resisted those. But I'm nervous about having more and more requirements, and more and larger fines, that have regulators reducing the ease with which people are able to build the houses and the developments that we need. I'm pleased that the change is going to be made to the explanatory note that was identified by CLAC, and I thank CLAC for their work in noting that requirement for the change in the explanatory note, but I would just question the unlimited fine. If there is a series of well-known issues where developers have just seen £20,000 as a cost of doing business and have done truly egregious things, and there's a problem that we need to address, fine, but it's just suggested, 'Oh well, we need to be consistent with these other things - there's this need to do this', and I'm not convinced whether that need is there. But I am willing to listen to the Minister's response and would specifically ask her to clarify the authorities that can put the initial stop notices - the 22 local authorities - . Can she clarify - national parks authorities, Dŵr Cymru - ? Is Natural Resources Wales also allowed to do this? What is the scope? Will any fine be a requirement of the magistrates' courts and independently assessed there before the developer would have to pay? I look forward to a hearing a response before we consider our voting position. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Rydym yn sôn am sut yr ydym yn awyddus i adeiladu a chodi mwy o dai yng Nghymru, i ddarparu tai ac i gynhyrchu twf economaidd, ond y realiti yw ein bod yn rhoi mwyfwy o gyfyngiadau ac amodau ar yr hyn y mae'n rhaid i ddatblygwyr ei wneud cyn y caniateir iddyn nhw ddatblygu. Mae gofynion draenio trefol cynaliadwy wedi bod yn un o'r rhain. Pan oeddwn yn eistedd ar Bwyllgor yr Economi, Seilwaith a Sgiliau, roeddem ni'n ystyried adeiladwyr tai bach a chanolig eu maint a fe wnaethom ni dderbyn tystiolaeth a oedd yn pwysleisio'r gofynion draenio fel problem benodol. Mewn llawer o achosion, roedd angen trefniadau draenio a oedd yn barhaus ac yn gofyn am reolaeth ystâd a gwaith rheoleiddio sylweddol iawn a oedd yn ychwanegu llawer o gost at y datblygiadau. Roedd cwynion sylweddol iawn hefyd ynglŷn â Dŵr Cymru - gwrthwynebodd Dŵr Cymru rheini. Ond rwy'n nerfus ynglŷn â chael mwyfwy o ofynion, a dirwyon mwy ac ehangach, sydd yn golygu bod rheoleiddwyr yn lleihau pa mor hawdd y gall pobl adeiladu'r tai a'r datblygiadau sydd eu hangen arnom ni. Rwy'n falch bod y newid yn cael ei wneud i'r nodyn esboniadol a nodwyd gan y Pwyllgor Materion Cyfansoddiadol a Deddfwriaethol, a hoffwn ddiolch i'r Pwyllgor Materion Cyfansoddiadol a Deddfwriaethol am eu gwaith yn nodi'r gofyniad hwnnw ar gyfer y newid yn y nodyn esboniadol, ond byddwn i'n cwestiynu'r ddirwy ddiderfyn. Os oes cyfres o faterion adnabyddus lle mae datblygwyr wedi gweld £20,000 fel cost o wneud busnes ac wedi gwneud pethau gwirioneddol dybryd, ac mae problem y mae angen i ni fynd i'r afael â hi, iawn, ond awgrymir, 'O wel, mae angen i ni fod yn gyson â'r pethau eraill hyn - mae'r angen hyn i wneud hyn', ac nid wyf wedi fy argyhoeddi bod yr angen hwnnw yno. Ond rwy'n fodlon gwrando ar ymateb y Gweinidog a byddwn yn gofyn iddi'n benodol i egluro yr awdurdodau a all roi'r hysbysiadau stop cychwynnol - y 22 awdurdod lleol - . A wnaiff hi egluro - awdurdodau'r parciau cenedlaethol, Dŵr Cymru - ? A yw Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru hefyd yn cael gwneud hyn? Beth yw'r cwmpas? A fydd unrhyw ddirwy yn ofyniad gan lysoedd yr ynadon ac yn cael ei hasesu'n annibynnol cyn y byddai'n rhaid i'r datblygwr dalu? Edrychaf ymlaen at glywed ymateb cyn i ni ystyried ein sefyllfa o ran pleidleisio. Diolch.
