About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

** Please note, this training will be delivered in the medium of English

This hands-on training session is designed specifically for Community and Town Councils— and anyone who wants to better understand how planning decisions are made and how communities can influence them.

We'll tackle head-on the questions you hear all the time: “How can you build more houses when…?”
“…the roads are already gridlocked?”
“...when I can’t get a doctor’s appointment?”
“...when there aren’t enough school places?”
“...when they’re all unaffordable?”
“...when the sewers overflow every time it rains?”

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

✅ Understand how planning decisions are really made
✅ Recognise your council’s role and legal powers in planning
✅ Engage effectively with Local Development Plans
✅ Respond confidently to planning applications
✅ Navigate Pre-Application Consultations and Place Plans

Format: 2 hours, including a 10-minute break – fully interactive with plenty of time for questions, real-life examples, and discussion.

This isn’t dry theory – it’s practical, grounded, and built around the challenges your communities face.

** Sylwch, bydd yr hyfforddiant hwn yn cael ei ddarparu trwy gyfrwng Saesneg

Cyflwyniad Ymarferol i gynllunio ar gyfer Cynghorau Tref a Chymuned.

Mae’r sesiwn hyfforddi ymarferol hon wedi’i bwriadu’n benodol ar gyfer Cynghorau Tref a Chymuned – ac unrhyw un sydd am ddeall yn well sut y mae penderfyniadau cynllunio’n cael eu gwneud a sut y gall cymunedau ddylanwadu arnynt.

Byddwn yn mynd i’r afael yn uniongyrchol â’r cwestiynau rydych chi’n eu clywed drwy’r amser: “Sut allwch chi adeiladu rhagor o dai pan…?”
“…fo’r ffyrdd eisoes yn llawn tagfeydd?”
“...pan dydw i ddim yn gallu cael apwyntiad gyda’r meddyg?”
“...pan does dim digon o leoedd mewn ysgolion?”
“...pan ydynt i gyd yn anfforddiadwy?”
“...pan fo’r carthffosydd yn gorlifo bob tro y bydd hi’n bwrw glaw?”

Erbyn diwedd y cwrs yma, byddwch yn gallu:

✅ Deall sut y mae penderfyniadau cynllunio’n cael eu gwneud mewn gwirionedd
✅ Adnabod rôl a phwerau cyfreithiol eich cyngor yn y broses gynllunio
✅ Ymgysylltu’n effeithiol â Chynlluniau Datblygu Lleol
✅ Ymateb yn hyderus i geisiadau cynllunio
✅ Ymdrin ag Ymgyngoriadau Cyn Ymgeisio a Chynlluniau Cynefin

Fformat: 2 awr, gan gynnwys egwyl o 10 munud – cwbl ryngweithiol gyda digonedd o amser ar gyfer cwestiynau, enghreifftiau go iawn, a thrafodaeth.

Nid theori sych yw hyn – mae’n ymarferol, yn ddi-lol, ac yn canolbwyntio ar yr heriau y mae eich cymunedau’n eu hwynebu.

* Os byddai'n well gennych anfoneb a thalu gyda siec / BACS, e-bostiwch kay@planningaidwales.org.uk neu ar 02920 625009. Dim ond 24 awr cyn i'r digwyddiad ddechrau y caniateir ad-daliadau/trosglwyddiadau.

Organised by

Our purpose is to support communities and planning authorities to work better together in shaping places.

 

We work with local planning authorities to support approaches for thoughtful community engagement as part of a proactive planning process.

 

We work with community and town councils to see the world from their perspective and explain the planning process, their role in it and what they can achieve.

Ein diben yw cefnogi cymunedau ac awdurdodau cynllunio i weithio’n well gyda’i gilydd wrth lunio cynefinoedd.

 

Rydym yn gweithio gydag awdurdodau cynllunio lleol i gefnogi dulliau o ymgysylltiad ystyrlon â chymunedau fel rhan o broses gynllunio rhagweithiol.

 

Rydym yn gweithio â chynghorau cymuned a thref i weld y byd o’u persbectif hwy ac esbonio’r broses gynllunio, eu rôl ynddi a’r hyn y gallant eu gyflawni.
