English: We in Plaid Cymru welcome the recommendations of the affordable housing review, and there is considerable overlap with their proposals and our proposals, which we published back in February this year. So, we're pleased to see that the Government is accepting the recommendations as well. We are particularly pleased with the recommendations that more attention should be given to the requirements of people with disabilities, and other needs should be part of the local housing market assessments. We're also pleased about the focus on improving standards of new builds with minimum space requirements, and also the recommendation of making new homes close to zero carbon by 2021. You've pretty much accepted all of these recommendations, subject to the building regulations review. I'm also aware - and you mentioned this in your statement - that you are soon to receive a report with recommendations for decarbonising the existing housing stock, and I look forward to hearing your response to that report. I'd like to ask you, Minister: do you accept that, in order to really achieve the outcomes of these recommendations here, that is going to require a fundamental change in how the planning system works? Clearly, social housing has a role to play in terms of delivering these new units, and therefore should be far more involved at the LDP stage of planning. Furthermore, I'd like to ask whether you think the planning of public services to serve these new communities needs to play a more central role in these local developments. We achieve nothing by building homes without the communities that we need to go with them. I'd also like to ask whether you think the developments that we've seen over the last decade have taken a step backwards. How many of these developments have been characterised by large developers using their monopoly power to exploit consumers with leasehold homes, estates going unfinished and being unfinished for years, and all the broken promises of affordable homes, new facilities via section 106 agreements and so on? Will you therefore act more urgently to prevent these problems characterising the developments that are currently going through the planning system, as the timescale of you implementing the recommendations of this report won't prevent those current developments also being characterised by this problem? Furthermore, you'll be aware that some local authorities are reviewing and updating their local development plans. Can you confirm that those local authorities should now be doing this work, based on the principles that you'll be formalising in the various new standards and guidelines that you'll be producing as a result of accepting this report? Finally, the panel recommends that Help to Buy should be focused more on first-time buyers with properties of a lower price. Your response says you cannot accept or decline the recommendation until you're clearer about the funding situation for this. But can I ask whether you accept the principle that a scheme subsidising homes being sold for over £200,000 to people who are already on the housing ladder should not be considered as counting towards an affordable homes target, as the panel clearly agrees that this is distorting?
Welsh: Rydym ni ym Mhlaid Cymru yn croesawu argymhellion yr adolygiad o dai fforddiadwy, ac mae cryn orgyffwrdd rhwng eu cynigion a'n cynigion ni, a gyhoeddwyd gennym ni ym mis Chwefror eleni. Felly, rydym yn falch o weld bod y Llywodraeth yn derbyn yr argymhellion hefyd. Rydym yn arbennig o falch o'r argymhellion y dylid rhoi mwy o sylw i ofynion pobl ag anableddau, ac y dylai anghenion eraill fod yn rhan o asesiadau'r farchnad dai leol. Rydym hefyd yn falch o'r pwyslais ar godi safonau adeiladau newydd sydd â gofynion sylfaenol o ran lle, a hefyd yr argymhelliad i sicrhau bod cartrefi newydd yn agos at fod yn ddi-garbon erbyn 2021. Rydych chi fwy neu lai wedi derbyn yr holl argymhellion hyn, yn amodol ar yr adolygiad o reoliadau adeiladu. Rwyf hefyd yn ymwybodol - ac fe wnaethoch chi sôn am hyn yn eich datganiad - y byddwch yn cael adroddiad yn fuan gydag argymhellion ar gyfer datgarboneiddio'r stoc tai presennol, ac edrychaf ymlaen at glywed eich ymateb i'r adroddiad hwnnw. Hoffwn ofyn i chi, Gweinidog: a ydych chi'n derbyn, er mwyn cyflawni canlyniadau'r argymhellion hyn mewn difrif, y bydd angen newid sylfaenol yn y ffordd y mae'r system gynllunio'n gweithio? Yn amlwg, mae gan dai cymdeithasol ran i'w chwarae o ran darparu'r unedau newydd hyn, ac felly dylen nhw gymryd llawer mwy o ran yng ngham cynllunio'r cynllun datblygu lleol. Hefyd, hoffwn ofyn a ydych chi'n credu bod angen i gynllunio gwasanaethau cyhoeddus ar gyfer gwasanaethu'r cymunedau newydd hyn chwarae rhan fwy canolog yn y datblygiadau lleol hyn. Nid ydym yn cyflawni dim drwy adeiladu cartrefi heb y cymunedau y mae arnom ni eu hangen i fynd gyda nhw. Hoffwn hefyd ofyn a ydych chi o'r farn bod y datblygiadau a welsom ni dros y degawd diwethaf wedi cymryd cam yn ôl. Faint o'r datblygiadau hyn sydd wedi cael eu nodweddu gan ddatblygwyr mawr yn defnyddio eu pŵer monopoli i fanteisio ar ddefnyddwyr gyda chartrefi prydles, ystadau'n heb eu gorffen ac yn anorffenedig am flynyddoedd, a'r holl addewidion a dorrwyd ynghylch tai fforddiadwy, cyfleusterau newydd drwy gytundebau adran 106 ac yn y blaen? Felly a wnewch chi weithredu â mwy o frys i atal y problemau hyn rhag nodweddu'r datblygiadau sy'n mynd drwy'r system gynllunio ar hyn o bryd, gan na fydd yr amserlen ar gyfer gweithredu argymhellion yr adroddiad hwn yn atal y datblygiadau presennol hynny hefyd rhag cael eu nodweddu gan y broblem hon? Ymhellach, byddwch yn ymwybodol bod rhai awdurdodau lleol yn adolygu ac yn diweddaru eu cynlluniau datblygu lleol. A wnewch chi gadarnhau y dylai'r awdurdodau lleol hynny fod yn gwneud y gwaith hwn nawr, yn seiliedig ar yr egwyddorion y byddwch yn eu ffurfioli yn yr amrywiol safonau a chanllawiau newydd y byddwch yn eu creu o ganlyniad i dderbyn yr adroddiad hwn? Yn olaf, mae'r panel yn argymell y dylai Cymorth i Brynu ganolbwyntio mwy ar brynwyr am y tro cyntaf ag eiddo o bris is. Mae eich ymateb yn dweud na allwch chi dderbyn na gwrthod yr argymhelliad nes eich bod yn gliriach ynghylch y sefyllfa ariannu ar gyfer hyn. Ond a gaf i ofyn a ydych yn derbyn yr egwyddor na ddylid ystyried bod cynllun sy'n rhoi cymhorthdal i gartrefi sy'n cael eu gwerthu am dros £200,000 i bobl sydd eisoes ar yr ysgol dai yn cyfrif tuag at darged ar gyfer tai fforddiadwy, gan fod y panel yn cytuno'n glir bod hyn ystumio'r ffeithiau?
