Gwynedd, Planning Notice

GWYNEDD COUNCIL AFON CADNANT, CAERNARFON, STRUCTURAL IMPROVEMENT WORKS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT DETERMINATION BY GWYNEDD COUNCIL UNDER THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (LAND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENT WORKS) (AMENDMENT) REGULATIONS 2017

Gwynedd Council hereby announce the intention to proceed with the above-mentioned structural improvement works.  

The proposals aim to improve the structural condition along the Afon Cadnant (National Grid Reference SH 48487 62893) and involves replacing the existing debris screen to a screen and headwall of higher design quality (27.5m2) and improving the gabion baskets along the riverbank. The gabion improvement element will consist of the installation of new gabions upstream of the headwall and the spraying of an approximate 65m long section (both banks) of existing gabions with Renedroc DSR (dry spray repair mortar) to stabilise.

The works are considered ‘improvement/alteration works’ under the Environmental Impact Assessment (Land Drainage Improvement Works) (Amendment) Regulations 2017, as amended, and therefore must be screened to determine whether significant environmental effects are likely and hence an Environmental Statement is required.  

Following the completion of an environmental screening report it has been decided not to produce an Environmental Statement in respect of the proposed improvement works because such effects are not considered likely. Copies of the environmental screening report relating to the scheme may be inspected free of charge at all reasonable hours within 30 days of the publication of this notice at the Gwynedd Council Offices in Shirehall Street, Caernarfon, Gwynedd, LL55 1SH.

Any person may, within 30 days of the publication of this Notice, express an opinion in relation to the likely environmental effects of the proposed improvement works.  Any such expression of opinion must be made in writing to Mr. R. Williams, Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Unit, YGC, Cyngor Gwynedd Offices, Swyddfa Penrallt, Ffordd Pafiliwn, Caernarfon, Gwynedd, LL55 1BN.  In the preparation of any such opinion it should be borne in mind that the substance of it may be communicated to other people who may be affected by it. 

CYNGOR GWYNEDD CYNLLUN GWELLIANNAU STRWYTHURAU YR AFON CADNANT, CAERNARFON PENDERFYNIAD CYNGOR GWYNEDD AR ASESIAD O’R EFFAITH AMGYLCHEDDOL DAN REOLIADAU ASESU EFFEITHIAU AMGYLCHEDDOL (GWAITH GWELLA DRAENIO TIR) 2017, FEL Y CAWSANT EU DIWYGIO

Mae Cyngor Gwynedd yn cyhoeddi drwy hyn eu bwriad i fynd ymlaen â’r gwaith gwella strwythurau dan sylw uchod.   Nod y cynigion yw gwneud gwelliannau i strwythurau ar hyd yr Afon Cadnant (Cyfeirnod Grid Cenedlaethol 48487 62893), gan gynnwys uwchraddio'r sgrin falurion bresennol i sgrin a phen-wal o ansawdd dylunio uwch (27.5m2) a gwella'r caergewyll (gabion baskets) ar hyd glan yr afon. Bydd yr elfen o wella’r caergewyll yn cynnwys cyfuniad o osod caergewyll newydd a chwistrellu ardal yn mesur oddeutu 65m (dwy ochr i’r sianel) o’r caergewyll presennol â Renderoc DSR (dry spray repair mortar) i’w sefydlogi.

Mae’r gwaith yn cyfrif fel ‘gwaith gwella/addasu’ dan Reoliadau Asesu Effeithiau Amgylcheddol (Gwaith Gwella Draenio Tir) 2017, fel y diwygir, ac felly mae angen i’r cynllun gael ei sgrinio i asesu os yw’n debygol o effeithio yn niweidiol ar yr amgylchedd, ac os bydd angen paratoi Datganiad Amgylcheddol. Ar derfyn yr adroddiad sgrinio amgylcheddol, penderfynodd y Cyngor nid oes angen Datganiad Amgylcheddol ar gyfer y cynllun yma. Y rheswm am hyn yw gan nad oes disgwyl effeithiau amgylcheddol arwyddocaol ynghlwm a’r gwaith .

Mae copïau o’r adroddiad sgrinio amgylcheddol i’r cynllun ar gael i’w archwilio am ddim ac ar unrhyw adeg resymol o’r dydd a chyn pen 30 diwrnod i ddyddiad cyhoeddi’r hysbysiad yma. Bydd copïau o’r adroddiad i’w gweld yn Swyddfeydd Cyngor Gwynedd yn Stryd y Jêl, Caernarfon, Gwynedd, LL55 1SH.

Mae croeso hefyd i unrhyw un roi barn ar effeithiau tebygol y gwaith ar yr amgylchedd. Rhaid gwneud hynny cyn pen 30 diwrnod i ddyddiad cyhoeddi’r hysbysiad. Rhaid anfon unrhyw sylwadau’n ysgrifenedig at Mr R. Williams, Uned Rheolaeth Risg Llifogydd ac Erydiad Arfordirol, YGC, Swyddfeydd Cyngor Gwynedd, Swyddfa Penrallt, Ffordd Pafiliwn, Caernarfon, Gwynedd, LL55 1SH. Wrth ysgrifennu eich barn, cofiwch fod posibilrwydd y bydd pobl eraill y gallai’r cynllun effeithio arnyn nhw, weld eich sylwadau.
