Ysgolion, lleoedd ysgol ac adeiladau, anghenion dysgu ychwanegol ac addysg cyfrwng Cymraeg.
Beth mae cynghorau'n ei wneud
Mae cynghorau'n rhedeg ysgolion cymunedol, yn ariannu pob ysgol wladol, yn darparu cludiant i'r ysgol ac yn cefnogi disgyblion ag anghenion dysgu ychwanegol. Maen nhw'n cynllunio lleoedd ysgol, gan gynnwys lleoedd cyfrwng Cymraeg o dan gynllun deng mlynedd.
Pwy sy'n penderfynu
Mae'r Cabinet yn penderfynu ar newidiadau i ysgolion, fel agor, cau neu uno ysgolion, ar ôl ymgynghoriad ffurfiol. Penaethiaid a chyrff llywodraethu sy'n rhedeg pob ysgol o ddydd i ddydd.
Dweud eich dweud
Rhaid ymgynghori ar gynigion i newid ysgol, a gall unrhyw un ymateb. Gall rhieni hefyd ddod yn llywodraethwyr ysgol.
Mewn rhifau
Mae cynghorau Cymru yn bwriadu gwario £1,307 y pen ar hyn yn 2026-27.
Mae'n amrywio o £1,099 yn Sir Fynwy i £1,475 yn Merthyr Tudful.
Disgyblion Blwyddyn 1 a addysgir yn Gymraeg: 25% ar draws Cymru (2025-26).
Penderfyniad: Penderfynodd y Pwyllgor argymell bod y Cabinet yn bwrw ymlaen ag ymgynghoriad ffurfiol ar Ysgol Carwe. Argymhelliad yw hwn, nid penderfyniad i gau'r ysgol.

of Public Right of Way P7/2/1 (to avert crossing the railway line) shall be
submitted to the Council under Section 257 of the Town and Country Planning
Act 1990. No dwelling shall be occupied before:
Either:-
(i) the order made pursuant to the relevant application has been

detail the works required to cap off the asset (including the timing of these
works) and no development shall take place within the protection zone until it
has been capped off in accordance with the approved details.
b) If the watermain is live, no development shall take place along the
watermain route and the protection zone until a scheme to divert the
watermain has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local
planning authority. The scheme shall include a detailed design, outlining the
measures taken to divert and protect the structural condition of the watermain

• potential contaminants associated with those uses
• a conceptual model of the site indicating sources, pathways, and receptors
• potentially unacceptable risks arising from contamination at the site
2. A site investigation scheme, based on (1) to provide information for a
detailed assessment of the risk to all receptors that may be affected, including
those off site.
3. The results of the site investigation and the detailed risk assessment
referred to in (2) and, based on these, an options appraisal and remediation
strategy giving full details of the remediation measures required and how they
are to be undertaken.

The remediation strategy and its relevant components shall be carried out in
accordance with the approved details.
Reason:
To ensure the risks associated with contamination at the site have been fully
considered prior to commencement of development as controlled waters are
of high environmental sensitivity; and where necessary remediation measures
and long-term monitoring are implemented to prevent unacceptable risks from
contamination and to ensure compliance with Policy MD7 (Environmental
Protection) of the adopted Local Development Plan.
16. Prior to the occupation of the development a verification report demonstrating
completion of works set out in the approved remediation strategy and the

that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to
workers, neighbours and other offsite receptors and to ensure compliance
with the provisions of MD7 of the adopted Local Development Plan.
17. Prior to the occupation of the development, a long term monitoring plan for
land contamination shall be submitted and approved in writing by the Local
Planning Authority. The long term monitoring plan should include:
•Details of the methods and triggers for action to be undertaken

for actions
•Details confirming that the contingency and remedial actions have been
carried out.
The monitoring plan shall be carried out in accordance with the approved
details, within the agreed timescales.

ensure necessary monitoring measures are approved to manage any potential
adverse impacts as a result of development on controlled waters and to
ensure compliance with the provisions of MD7 of the adopted Local
Development Plan.
18. If, during development, contamination not previously identified is found to be
present at the site then no further development (unless otherwise agreed in
writing with the Local Planning Authority) shall be carried out until a

carried out in accordance with the approved details.
Reason:
To prevent both new and existing development from contributing to or being
put at unacceptable risk from or being adversely affected by unacceptable
levels of water pollution and to ensure compliance with the provisions of
Policy MD7 of the adopted Local Development Plan.
20. Any aggregate (other than virgin quarry stone) or recycled aggregate material
to be imported shall be assessed for chemical or other potential contaminants
in accordance with a scheme of investigation which shall be submitted to and

development site to verify that the imported soil is free from contamination
shall be undertaken in accordance with a scheme and timescale to be agreed
in writing by the LPA.
Reason:
To ensure that any unacceptable risks from land contamination to the future
users of the land, neighbouring land, controlled waters, property and
ecological systems are minimised, and to ensure that the development can be
carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other
offsite receptors in accordance with Policies SP1 (Delivering the Strategy) and
MD7 (Environmental Protection) of the Local Development Plan.

assessed for chemical or other potential contaminants in accordance with a
scheme of investigation which shall be submitted to and approved in writing
by the Local Planning Authority in advance of its importation. Only material
approved by the Local Planning Authority shall be imported. All measures
