English: Diolch, Llywydd. Last week, you accepted in principle the recommendation that all new affordable homes should be as close as possible to zero carbon by 2021, subject to the outcome of your building regulations review. However, the homes likely to be completed and available in 2021 are those homes that form part of the applications going through the planning process at the moment. Will you therefore put on record that planning departments evaluating these applications at the moment should be securing zero-carbon homes, and making decisions now that are self-evidently in the framework for housing that you've set for the future?
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. Yr wythnos diwethaf, fe dderbynioch chi mewn egwyddor yr argymhelliad y dylai pob cartref fforddiadwy newydd fod mor agos â phosibl at fod yn ddi-garbon erbyn 2021, yn amodol ar ganlyniad eich adolygiad o'r rheoliadau adeiladu. Fodd bynnag, y cartrefi sy'n debygol o gael eu cwblhau a bod ar gael erbyn 2021 yw'r cartrefi sy'n rhan o'r ceisiadau sy'n mynd drwy'r broses gynllunio ar hyn o bryd. A wnewch chi ddweud ar goedd felly y dylai adrannau cynllunio sydd wrthi'n gwerthuso'r ceisiadau hyn ar hyn o bryd sicrhau eu bod yn gartrefi di-garbon, a gwneud penderfyniadau yn awr sy'n amlwg yn y fframwaith ar gyfer tai a osodwyd gennych ar gyfer y dyfodol?
English: We've recently written to planning authorities asking them to review some of the policies in the light of 'Planning Policy Wales', but it is a plan-led process and the plans have a lifetime of their own. So, we're asking through the Welsh Local Government Association and through local authority leads for them to review the local development plan process. And as you know, we're about to go out to consultation on the national development framework that will put the overarching strategy in place. It's not possible to instantly change the planning system in the way that you say, but we are taking all the steps to change it as fast as we can and keep the plan-led process in place and sustainable - clearly with a view to going to the place where you want us to be, but we do have to do that in accordance with the plans themselves.
Welsh: Rydym wedi ysgrifennu at awdurdodau cynllunio yn ddiweddar i ofyn iddynt adolygu rhai o'r polisïau yng ngoleuni 'Polisi Cynllunio Cymru', ond mae'n broses sy'n dilyn y cynllun ac mae gan y cynlluniau eu hoes eu hunain. Felly, rydym yn gofyn drwy Gymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru a thrwy arweinwyr awdurdodau lleol iddynt adolygu proses y cynllun datblygu lleol. Ac fel y gwyddoch, rydym ar fin ymgynghori ar y fframwaith datblygu cenedlaethol a fydd yn rhoi'r strategaeth drosfwaol ar waith. Nid yw'n bosibl newid y system gynllunio ar unwaith fel y dywedwch, ond rydym yn rhoi'r holl gamau ar waith i'w newid mor gyflym ag y gallwn a chadw'r broses sy'n dilyn y cynllun yn ei lle ac yn gynaliadwy - gyda'r bwriad o gyrraedd y sefyllfa rydych am i ni ei chyrraedd, ond mae'n rhaid i ni wneud hynny yn unol â'r cynlluniau eu hunain.
English: A climate emergency means that decisions being taken now have to be consistent with the aspirations for a zero-carbon economy; it's not good enough to just keep delaying things, Minister. But moving to the issue of planning, you'll be aware that my colleague wrote to you recently asking to adjust planning policy to reflect the fact that, when considering the issue of the M4, the First Minister attached greater weight to environmental considerations than the planning inspector did. It seems that your reply didn't quite understand the issue. If the view of the Government, as expressed by the First Minister, is that the declaration of a climate emergency means that environmental considerations should have greater weight in planning than the planning inspector was prepared to attach to them, then surely you should accept that all planning decisions should now be attaching greater weight to environmental considerations than would have been the case six months ago before you declared a climate emergency? Will you therefore put on the record that that is your Government's view, and if you're not prepared to do that, can you explain the inconsistency that will invariably result?
Welsh: Mae argyfwng hinsawdd yn golygu bod yn rhaid i benderfyniadau sy'n cael eu gwneud yn awr fod yn gyson â'r dyheadau am economi ddi-garbon; nid yw parhau i oedi pethau yn ddigon da, Weinidog. Ond wrth symud at fater cynllunio, fe fyddwch yn ymwybodol fod fy nghyd-Aelod wedi ysgrifennu atoch yn ddiweddar i ofyn am addasu polisi cynllunio i adlewyrchu'r ffaith, wrth ystyried mater yr M4, fod y Prif Weinidog wedi rhoi mwy o bwys ar ystyriaethau amgylcheddol nag y gwnaeth yr arolygydd cynllunio. Ymddengys nad oedd eich ateb yn deall y mater yn iawn. Os mai barn y Llywodraeth, fel y'i mynegwyd gan y Prif Weinidog, yw bod datgan argyfwng hinsawdd yn golygu y dylid rhoi mwy o bwyslais ar ystyriaethau amgylcheddol wrth gynllunio nag yr oedd yr arolygydd cynllunio yn barod i'w roi, does bosibl na ddylech dderbyn y dylai pob penderfyniad cynllunio bellach fod yn rhoi mwy o bwys ar ystyriaethau amgylcheddol nag a fyddai wedi digwydd chwe mis yn ôl cyn i chi ddatgan argyfwng hinsawdd? A wnewch chi ddweud ar goedd felly mai dyna farn eich Llywodraeth, ac os nad ydych yn barod i wneud hynny, a allwch egluro'r anghysondeb a fydd yn deillio'n anochel o hynny?
English: I'd like to look even further now beyond 2021, Minister. It's clear that some of the technology that's going to be used in housing will effectively turn some houses into mini power stations, capable of generating the electricity that those communities will use, and even, in some cases, make those houses profitable. This, of course, is really exciting, but there's a risk that if we don't embrace this concept in a planned way, it could exacerbate existing social divides. Wealthy people will buy homes that will generate income for them, but those on the lowest incomes will either be left with the oldest housing stock that are expensive to run, or if they do live in newer homes, the income from such energy will be passed on to housing associations or private landlords. Will you therefore outline how your Government intends to ensure that the poorest people in our society will benefit from a green revolution?
Welsh: Hoffwn edrych ymhellach i'r dyfodol yn awr, y tu hwnt i 2021, Weinidog. Mae'n amlwg y bydd rhywfaint o'r dechnoleg sy'n mynd i gael ei defnyddio mewn tai yn troi rhai tai yn orsafoedd pŵer bach i bob pwrpas, a fydd yn gallu cynhyrchu'r trydan y bydd y cymunedau hynny'n ei ddefnyddio, a hyd yn oed, mewn rhai achosion, yn gwneud y tai hynny'n broffidiol. Mae hyn, wrth gwrs, yn gyffrous iawn, ond mae perygl, os nad ydym yn cofleidio'r cysyniad hwn mewn ffordd drefnus, y gallai waethygu rhaniadau cymdeithasol presennol. Bydd pobl gyfoethog yn prynu cartrefi a fydd yn creu incwm ar eu cyfer, ond bydd y rhai ar yr incwm lleiaf naill ai'n gorfod bodloni ar y stoc dai hynaf sy'n ddrud i'w rhedeg, neu os ydynt yn byw mewn cartrefi mwy newydd, bydd yr incwm o ynni o'r fath yn mynd i gymdeithasau tai neu landlordiaid preifat. A wnewch chi amlinellu felly sut y mae eich Llywodraeth yn bwriadu sicrhau y bydd y bobl dlotaf yn ein cymdeithas yn elwa o chwyldro gwyrdd?
English: Thank you. And I think the key message that came through was that the young people - many of them were unaware of even the schemes that exist currently, so it's how we can engage with them in the design and delivery of those programmes, rather than as recipients, if somebody chooses to tell them about this. And I think the young man you refer to might have been the person who chaired, brilliantly, the question-time panel that we had on Monday morning. Speaking here in October 2016, I highlighted concerns expressed by Oxfam Cymru, which they then said remained unanswered in the Welsh Government's programme for government, 'Taking Wales Forward'. And they suggested reforms based on something I think I've heard you refer to in committee - the sustainable livelihoods approach. Their three-year building livelihoods and strengthening communities in Wales project had helped over 1,100 people to get their lives on track, helping them identify their strengths and assets, in order to identify the root problems preventing them from reaching their potential. And they said it also made financial sense, securing an average return of £4.39 for every £1 spent. How do you therefore respond to their statement that embedding the sustainable livelihoods approach in all policy and service delivery in Wales will help people to break out of poverty and into fair work, and assuming - and I think you will - you agree with that statement, what work are you doing to incorporate that as you go forward?
Welsh: Diolch. A chredaf mai'r neges allweddol a gawsom drwy hynny oedd fod y bobl ifanc - nid oedd llawer ohonynt yn ymwybodol o'r cynlluniau sy'n bodoli eisoes, hyd yn oed, felly mae'n ymwneud â sut y gallwn ymgysylltu â hwy yn y gwaith o gynllunio a chyflwyno'r rhaglenni hynny, yn hytrach nag fel derbynwyr, os bydd rhywun yn dewis dweud wrthynt am hyn. A chredaf mai'r dyn ifanc rydych yn cyfeirio ato, o bosibl, oedd yr unigolyn a gadeiriodd y panel holi a gawsom fore Llun, ac fe wnaeth hynny'n wych. Wrth siarad yma ym mis Hydref 2016, tynnais sylw at bryderon a fynegwyd gan Oxfam Cymru, a ddywedodd ar y pryd nad oeddent wedi cael ateb yn eu cylch yn rhaglen lywodraethu Llywodraeth Cymru, 'Symud Cymru Ymlaen'. Ac fe wnaethant awgrymu diwygiadau yn seiliedig ar rywbeth y credaf eich bod wedi cyfeirio ato yn y pwyllgor - y dull bywoliaethau cynaliadwy. Mae eu prosiect tair blynedd i adeiladu bywoliaethau a chryfhau cymunedau yng Nghymru wedi helpu dros 1,100 o bobl i sicrhau bod eu bywydau ar y trywydd iawn, gan eu helpu i nodi eu cryfderau a'u hasedau, er mwyn nodi'r problemau creiddiol sy'n eu hatal rhag cyrraedd eu potensial. Ac roeddent yn dweud ei fod yn gwneud synnwyr ariannol hefyd, gan ei fod yn darparu elw cyfartalog o £4.39 am bob £1 a werir. Felly, sut rydych yn ymateb i'w datganiad y bydd ymgorffori'r dull bywoliaethau cynaliadwy ym mhob polisi a gwasanaeth yng Nghymru yn helpu pobl i godi allan o dlodi ac i gael gwaith teg, a chan gymryd eich bod yn cytuno â'r datganiad hwnnw - a chredaf y byddwch - pa waith a wnewch i ymgorffori hynny wrth ichi symud ymlaen?
English: I do agree with that statement very much, and, actually, that specific piece of work is in the Deputy Minister's portfolio. I did have responsibility for it in my previous portfolio, so I'm very much aware of it. In terms of what we're trying to do with a broader fair work agenda - what we're trying to do is make sure that, through our social partnership working, we change the culture in Wales so that companies are much more likely to take people who are coming off programmes such as that in, either on work experience or on extended paid internships or on apprenticeship schemes, shared or otherwise, and so on. I will say that we also very much encourage young people of that sort to join a trade union. The trade union movement is excellent at helping people access the benefits that they're entitled to and to working with our employers to make sure that the employers themselves are also aware of what their members are entitled to. So, my message would be: of course, we are very interested in working with Oxfam Cymru. I was very familiar with that scheme before, particularly their work with young women. I know that my colleague the Deputy Minister is taking that work forward as well. But young people in those circumstances should definitely join their local trade union and make sure that they get access to all of the benefits that that kind of working life can bring.
Welsh: Cytunaf yn gryf â'r datganiad hwnnw, ac mewn gwirionedd, mae'r gwaith penodol hwnnw yn rhan o bortffolio'r Dirprwy Weinidog. Roeddwn yn gyfrifol amdano yn fy mhortffolio blaenorol, felly rwy'n ymwybodol iawn ohono. O ran yr hyn y ceisiwn ei wneud gydag agenda gwaith teg ehangach - yr hyn rydym yn ceisio'i wneud yw sicrhau ein bod, drwy ein gwaith partneriaeth gymdeithasol, yn newid y diwylliant yng Nghymru fel bod cwmnïau'n llawer mwy tebygol o gymryd pobl sydd wedi dod o raglenni o'r fath, naill ai ar brofiad gwaith neu ar interniaethau estynedig â thâl neu ar gynlluniau prentisiaeth, rhai a rennir neu fel arall, ac yn y blaen. Rwyf am ddweud hefyd ein bod yn annog pobl ifanc o'r fath i ymuno ag undeb llafur. Mae mudiad yr undebau llafur yn wych am helpu pobl i gael mynediad at y buddion y mae ganddynt hawl i'w cael a gweithio gyda'n cyflogwyr i sicrhau bod y cyflogwyr eu hunain hefyd yn ymwybodol o'r hyn y mae gan eu haelodau hawl iddo. Felly, fy neges fyddai: wrth gwrs, mae gennym gryn ddiddordeb mewn gweithio gydag Oxfam Cymru. Roeddwn yn gyfarwydd iawn â'r cynllun hwnnw o'r blaen, yn enwedig eu gwaith gyda menywod ifanc. Gwn fod fy nghyd-Aelod, y Dirprwy Weinidog, yn bwrw ymlaen â'r gwaith hwnnw hefyd. Ond yn sicr, dylai pobl ifanc yn yr amgylchiadau hynny ymuno â'u hundeb llafur lleol a sicrhau eu bod yn cael mynediad at yr holl fuddion y gall y math hwnnw o fywyd gwaith eu cynnig.
English: Clearly, it's important, as you indicate, that we see people's strengths and utilise their own understanding of themselves and the barriers they encounter in order to turn those barriers into opportunities. But, again, in referring to and bringing all these points together - welfare reform and the sustainable livelihoods approach - the partnership project being implemented across Wales between Oxfam Cymru and the DWP delivers poverty awareness for Wales to DWP front-line staff and managers and introduces an evidence-based toolkit and resource pack using the sustainable livelihoods approach. Originally, it was delivered by an Oxfam staff member, to train DWP staff, and last September, a DWP staff member was seconded to Oxfam as training project lead across Wales. The interim evaluation found that 90 per cent of trained DWP and community partner staff, trained in the sustainable livelihoods approach, reported an increase in awareness of poverty issues in Wales, and 80 per cent reported that they will regularly use the sustainable livelihoods approach. So, how, again, will or is the Welsh Government engaged with this project? And whether it is or it isn't - it's not named here as a partner - how will it integrate this sort of work into its own fair work work as it goes forward?
Welsh: Yn amlwg, fel y dywedwch, mae'n bwysig ein bod yn gweld cryfderau pobl ac yn defnyddio eu dealltwriaeth o'u hunain a'r rhwystrau y maent yn eu hwynebu er mwyn troi'r rhwystrau hynny'n gyfleoedd. Ond unwaith eto, wrth gyfeirio at yr holl bwyntiau hyn a'u dwyn ynghyd - diwygio lles a'r dull bywoliaethau cynaliadwy - mae'r prosiect partneriaeth sy'n cael ei roi ar waith ledled Cymru rhwng Oxfam Cymru a'r Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau yn rhoi ymwybyddiaeth o dlodi yng Nghymru i staff rheng flaen a rheolwyr yr Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau ac yn darparu pecyn adnoddau ar sail tystiolaeth sy'n defnyddio'r dull bywoliaethau cynaliadwy. Yn wreiddiol, aelod o staff Oxfam fyddai'n ei gyflwyno, i hyfforddi staff yr Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau, a fis Medi diwethaf, cafodd aelod o staff yr Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau secondiad i weithio i Oxfam fel arweinydd prosiect hyfforddi ar gyfer Cymru gyfan. Canfu'r gwerthusiad interim fod 90 y cant o staff hyfforddedig yr Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau a staff partneriaid cymunedol, a hyfforddwyd yn y dull bywoliaethau cynaliadwy, wedi nodi cynnydd yn yr ymwybyddiaeth o faterion tlodi yng Nghymru, a dywedodd 80 y cant y byddant yn defnyddio'r dull bywoliaethau cynaliadwy yn rheolaidd. Felly, sut, unwaith eto, y bydd neu y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ymgysylltu â'r prosiect hwn? A ph'un a yw'n gwneud hynny ai peidio - nid ydynt wedi'u henwi yma fel partner - sut y byddant yn integreiddio'r math hwn o waith yn eu gwaith eu hunain ar waith teg yn y dyfodol?
English: So, again, that's not particularly in my portfolio, so I'll have to ask the Deputy Minister to come back to you about the specifics of that particular programme, which I'm not familiar with, I'm afraid. FootnoteLink We have been, through my Deputy Minister, Hannah Blythyn, in communication with the UK Government on a range of issues to do with welfare. And can I say that I very much welcome the approach of the DWP in Wales for that kind of person-centred approach, which we can only recommend. But I have to say that, one of the biggest reasons that we have poverty in Wales is because the welfare benefits system is not fit for purpose and simply does not deliver the kind of money to people that they need to live on. And the very cruel bedroom tax and capping system has a particularly detrimental effect on people who live in poverty. So, actually, my own view would be that the very best thing you can do with welfare, although I welcome the trauma-centred approach that you're talking about, would be to make it enough money for people to actually live off.
Welsh: Unwaith eto, nid yw hynny'n rhan benodol o fy mhortffolio, felly bydd yn rhaid i mi ofyn i'r Dirprwy Weinidog ddod yn ôl atoch ynglŷn â manylion y rhaglen benodol honno, nad wyf yn gyfarwydd â hi, mae arnaf ofn. FootnoteLink Drwy fy Nirprwy Weinidog, Hannah Blythyn, rydym wedi bod yn cyfathrebu â Llywodraeth y DU ar amrywiaeth o faterion sy'n ymwneud â lles. Ac a gaf fi ddweud fy mod yn croesawu ymagwedd yr Adran Gwaith a Phensiynau yng Nghymru at y math hwnnw o ddull sy'n canolbwyntio ar yr unigolyn, ac rydym yn ei argymell. Ond mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud mai un o'r rhesymau mwyaf pam y mae gennym dlodi yng Nghymru yw am nad yw'r system fudd-daliadau lles yn addas i'r diben ac am nad yw'n darparu'r math o arian y mae pobl ei angen i fyw. Ac mae'r dreth ystafell wely greulon iawn a'r system gapio yn cael effaith arbennig o niweidiol ar bobl sy'n byw mewn tlodi. Felly, er fy mod yn croesawu'r dull y soniwch amdano sy'n canolbwyntio ar drawma, y peth gorau y gallwch ei wneud gyda lles yn fy marn i fyddai ei wneud yn ddigon o arian i bobl fyw arno.
English: You're on.
Welsh: Eich tro chi.
English: Sorry, I thought he had a third question then, or fourth question.
Welsh: Mae'n ddrwg gennyf, roeddwn yn meddwl bod ganddo drydydd cwestiwn, neu bedwerydd cwestiwn.
English: No, no, it's you.
Welsh: Na, na, chi sydd i fynd.
English: It's me.
Welsh: Fi sydd i fynd.
English: The latest version of 'Planning Policy Wales' puts decarbonisation at the heart of our national planning policy. The forthcoming national development framework will have a similar focus. Our work on the energy efficiency of new homes through building regulations will also contribute to our response to the climate emergency.
Welsh: Mae'r fersiwn ddiweddaraf o 'Polisi Cynllunio Cymru' yn rhoi datgarboneiddio wrth wraidd ein polisi cynllunio cenedlaethol. Bydd ffocws tebyg i'r fframwaith datblygu cenedlaethol sydd ar ei ffordd. Bydd ein gwaith ar effeithlonrwydd ynni cartrefi newydd drwy reoliadau adeiladu hefyd yn cyfrannu at ein hymateb i'r argyfwng hinsawdd.
English: Thank you, Minister. My question ties in, in a small way, with one of Leanne Wood's earlier spokesperson's questions. I raised this with Lesley Griffiths, with her hat on as the environment Minister, last month. I had a query from a constituent who was looking to build an eco-house, effectively a carbon-neutral house in the countryside, but in an area where there had been a previous house, and the application was turned down, but they were allowed to restore an older building that was there and less environmentally friendly. So, I was asked whether I'd pass on to the Welsh Government concerns, with the new climate change emergency having been declared, about whether there will be any review of the planning system so that, when local authorities are following planning guidelines and making planning decisions, they do take into account that, if people want to build carbon-neutral, eco-friendly homes, then those will be pushed a little bit higher up the planning process - appreciating, of course, that there are other mitigating planning aspects as well, but I think it would be helpful if the climate emergency was well and truly embedded within the planning system.
Welsh: Diolch, Weinidog. Mae fy nghwestiwn yn cysylltu, mewn ffordd fach, ag un o gwestiynau cynharach Leanne Wood fel llefarydd. Codais hyn gyda Lesley Griffiths, yn ei rôl fel Gweinidog yr amgylchedd, y mis diwethaf. Roeddwn wedi cael ymholiad gan etholwr a oedd yn awyddus i adeiladu eco-dŷ, tŷ carbon niwtral i bob pwrpas yng nghefn gwlad, ond mewn man lle bu tŷ yno o'r blaen, a gwrthodwyd y cais, ond cawsant ganiatâd i adfer adeilad hŷn a oedd yno ac yn llai ecogyfeillgar. Felly, gan fod yr argyfwng hinsawdd newydd gael ei ddatgan, gofynnwyd i mi a fuaswn yn cyfleu pryderon i Lywodraeth Cymru ynglŷn ag a fydd unrhyw adolygiad o'r system gynllunio fel bod awdurdodau lleol, pan fyddant yn dilyn canllawiau cynllunio ac yn gwneud penderfyniadau cynllunio, yn ystyried, os yw pobl am adeiladu cartrefi carbon niwtral, ecogyfeillgar, y bydd rheini'n cael eu gwthio ychydig yn uwch i fyny yn y broses gynllunio - gan dderbyn, wrth gwrs, fod agweddau lliniarol eraill yn bodoli yn y broses gynllunio hefyd, ond credaf y byddai'n ddefnyddiol pe bai'r argyfwng hinsawdd wedi'i ymgorffori'n bendant yn y system gynllunio.
English: Well, about time, too, because the last time this Government brought forward proposals to strengthen part L building regulations, Plaid Cymru, my colleagues and I, argued fervently that the Government should be much more ambitious. Despite consulting on a 40 per cent or a 25 per cent strengthening of energy efficiency, your Government plumped for a measly 9 per cent increase. Now, we argued against, you voted us down. Three years later, we have a number of houses that have been built in the meantime that are actually locking in that energy inefficiency that you supported and which we opposed. Do you regret that?
Welsh: Wel, hen bryd, hefyd, oherwydd y tro diwethaf y cyflwynodd y Llywodraeth gynigion i gryfhau rheoliadau adeiladu rhan L, dadleuodd Plaid Cymru, fy nghyd-Aelodau a minnau, yn gryf y dylai'r Llywodraeth fod yn fwy uchelgeisiol o lawer. Er iddi ymgynghori ar gryfhau effeithlonrwydd ynni 40 y cant neu 25 y cant, dewisodd eich Llywodraeth gael cynnydd pitw o 9 y cant. Nawr, fe wnaethom ni ddadlau yn erbyn hynny, ac fe bleidleisioch chi yn ein herbyn. Dair blynedd yn ddiweddarach, mae gennym nifer o dai a adeiladwyd yn y cyfamser sydd wedi cynnal yr aneffeithlonrwydd ynni hwnnw a gefnogwyd gennych chi ac a wrthwynebwyd gennym ninnau. A ydych yn difaru hynny?
