Gorchymyn Rheilffordd Fynydd Aberhonddu (Rheilffordd Ysgafn)
Hysbysiad O Gais Am Orchymyn
Mae Vale of Rheidol Railway Limited (rhif cwmni 02188631) (yr Ymgeisydd) o Goedlan y Parc, Aberystwth, Ceredigion, Cymru SY23 1PG yn mynd i wneud cais i weinidogion Cymru o dan adran 6 o Ddeddf Trafnidiaeth a Gweithfeydd 1992, am y gorchymyn a grybwyllwyd uchod o dan adrannau 1 a 5 o’r Ddeddf honno.
Mae’r gorchymyn drafft yn gwneud darpariaeth ar gyfer trosglwyddo Gorchymyn Rheilffordd Fynydd Aberhonddu (Rheilffordd Ysgafn) 1980 (1980 Rhif 671) o Brecon Mountain Railway Company Limited i’r Ymgeisydd, wedi i’r Ymgeisydd feddiannu asedau Brecon Mountain Railway Company.
Mae’r gorchymyn drafft yn egluro’r pwerau a roddwyd i weithredwr y reilffordd drwy hepgor rhai o’r darpariaethau cydsynio a gynhwysir yng Ngorchymyn Rheilffordd Fynydd Aberhonddu (Rheilffordd Ysgafn) 1980 i gydnabod bod y reilffordd bellach yn reilffordd gwbl weithredol. Mae’r gorchymyn drafft yn rhoi’r hyblygrwydd i’r Ymgeisydd weithredu’r rheilffordd gan ddefnyddio ffurfiau ychwanegol o bŵer symud nad oedd ar gael pan ganiatawyd y gorchymyn gwreiddiol ym 1980.
Mae’r gorchymyn drafft yn darparu ymhellach ar gyfer trosglwyddo’r reilffordd gan yr Ymgeisydd.
Nid yw’r cais i’w wneud yn amodol ar asesiad effaith amgylcheddol.
Gellir archwilio copi o’r cais, ac o’r holl blaniau a dogfennau a gyflwynwyd gydag ef, yn rhad ac am ddim rhwng 9yb a 3yh ar ddyddiau Mawrth, Mercher a Iau yng ngorsaf Pant, Merthyr Tudful CF48 2DD tan 4 Mawrth 2025. Gellir cael copïau o’r wybodaeth honno oddi wrth y Rheolwr Cyffredinol yng ngorsaf Pant. Efallai y bydd tâl yn daladwy.
Dylid anfon unrhyw wrthwynebiadau i’r cynigion yn y cais, neu unrhyw sylwadau eraill yn eu cylch, at Weinidog Cymru c/o Penderfyniadau Cynllunio ac Amgylchedd Cymru, Adeiladau’r Goron, Parc Cathays, Caerdydd CF10 3NQ a PEDW.casework@gov.wales.
RHAID i wrthwynebiad neu sylw arall (i) gael ei dderbyn gan Weinidog Cymru ar neu cyn 4 Mawrth 2025, (ii) gael ei wneud yn ysgrifenedig (p’un ai drwy’r post neu e-bost), (iii) ddatgan sail y gwrthwynebiad neu sylw arall, (iv) nodi pwy sy’n gwneud y gwrthwynebiad neu sylw arall, a (v) rhoi cyfeiriad y gellir anfon gohebiaeth sy’n ymwneud â’r gwrthwynebydd neu’r sylwadwr ato/ati. (Os ydych yn anfon eich gwrthwynebiad neu sylwadau eraill drwy e-bost, rhowch gyfeiriad post a nodwch “Gorchymyn Rheilffordd Fynydd Aberhonddu (Rheilffordd Ysgafn)” ym mhwnc yr e-bost).
Caiff Gweinidog Cymru wneud copïau cyflawn o’r gwrthwynebiadau a’r sylwadau eraill yn gyhoeddus, gan gynnwys unrhyw wybodaeth bersonol sydd ynddynt, a bydd yn eu copïo i’r ceisydd am y gorchymyn.
