Yn ogystal â chael ei hategu gan is-ddeddfwriaeth berthnasol, mae’r ddeddfwriaeth sylfaenol hefyd wedi ei hategu gan gyfres o ddogfennau polisi, Nodiadau Cyngor Technegol (TANs) sy’n ganllawiau manwl ar bynciau penodol, a chanllawiau eraill.

Mae adran 19 o Ddeddf 2024 yn darparu bod cydsyniad seilwaith yn ofynnol pan fo datblygiad (fel y’i diffinnir yn y Ddeddf honno) yn brosiect seilwaith arwyddocaol neu’n ffurfio rhan o brosiect o’r fath; ac mae adran 20 yn egluro, o ganlyniad, nad oes angen cael caniatâd cynllunio na gwahanol fathau eraill o awdurdodiad.

Pan fydd y defnydd o dir yn newid o A i B, ac yna o B yn ôl i A, pan fo’r newid defnydd yn sylweddol, mae’n ffurfio datblygiad a byddai angen caniatâd cynllunio mewn egwyddor ar gyfer y ddau newid.

The one exception is where, prior to the first change of use, the land was being used for purpose A in breach of planning control or in breach of a discontinuance order, prohibition order or planning obligation (subsection (6)); in that situation, permission would be required for the change from use B back to use A.

Nor would permission be required to change the use from purpose B to purpose C, if a change from use A to use C would have been lawful. Yn yr achos hwnnw, nid oes angen caniatâd i ailddechrau defnyddio’r tir at ddiben A, sef y diben yr oedd yn cael ei ddefnyddio ar ei gyfer cyn y newid anghyfreithlon i’w ddefnyddio at ddiben B.

Yn yr achos hwnnw, rhaid iddynt hysbysu’r ceisydd a’r awdurdod, a phenodi arolygydd newydd i benderfynu’r cais; mae unrhyw beth a wneir ganddynt i’w drin fel pe bai wedi ei wneud gan yr arolygydd newydd, oni bai bod yr arolygydd newydd yn cyfarwyddo fel arall – ond fel arall mae’r cais i’w benderfynu fel pe na bai unrhyw gyfarwyddyd erioed wedi ei roi.

Yn gyffredinol, mae darpariaethau’r Rhan hon o’r Ddeddf yn gymwys i geisiadau am ganiatâd cynllunio ar gyfer datblygiad o’r fath, ac i geisiadau am gymeradwyaeth ar gyfer materion a gadwyd yn ôl drwy roi caniatâd amlinellol ar gyfer datblygiad o’r fath.

Er bod rheolaeth gynllunio bellach yn gymwys yn gyffredinol mewn perthynas â datblygiad y Goron yn union fel mewn unrhyw achos arall, gall ystyriaethau gwahanol godi pan fo datblygiad o’r fath o bwysigrwydd cenedlaethol a bo rhaid ei gynnal ar frys.

At y diben hwn, mae gweithrediad perthnasol yn golygu gwaith adeiladu wrth godi adeilad, gwaith i ddymchwel adeilad, cloddio ffos sylfaen, gosod pibellau a cheblau i sylfeini adeilad neu i ffos a fydd yn cynnwys sylfeini ar gyfer adeilad, gweithrediadau wrth osod allan neu adeiladu ffordd (is-adran (2)).

Prif arwyddocâd hyn yn ymarferol yw, unwaith y bydd o leiaf un gweithrediad o’r fath wedi ei gynnal, y gellir cwblhau gweddill y datblygiad rywbryd yn ddiweddarach, o bosibl ar ôl y dyddiad y byddai’r caniatâd wedi dod i ben fel arall.

Mae caniatâd mwynau yn gweithredu i ganiatáu cyfres o weithrediadau dros gyfnod estynedig, ac efallai y bydd cymeriad y tir cyfagos a ffactorau eraill yn newid yn sylweddol yn ystod y cyfnod hwnnw; fodd bynnag, unwaith y bydd datblygiad sydd wedi ei awdurdodi drwy roi caniatâd cynllunio wedi dechrau (gweler adran 99), mae modd ei gwblhau ar unrhyw adeg wedi hynny.

Os rhoddir caniatâd cynllunio wedi hynny i awdurdodi defnyddio rhan uchaf y cae ar gyfer 40 o garafanau, bydd yr hysbysiad yn peidio â chael effaith mewn perthynas â’r rhan o’r cae y gellir ei defnyddio’n gyfreithlon ar gyfer hyd at 40 o garafanau.

Caiff penderfyniad i gymryd camau o’r fath ei wneud yn ôl disgresiwn yr awdurdod cynllunio, yng ngoleuni’r cynllun datblygu a’r holl ystyriaethau perthnasol eraill (adrannau 119(2) a 128(2)).

Pan nad oes hysbysiad gorfodi yn cael effaith ar hyn o bryd mewn cysylltiad â’r tir o dan sylw, mae newid yn y defnydd o’r tir neu gynnal gweithrediad arno yn gyfreithlon os na ellir cymryd camau gorfodi mewn cysylltiad ag ef (am y rhesymau yn is-adran (2)).

Yn gyntaf, bydd gan ddefnydd o dir imiwnedd rhag camau gorfodi, ac felly bydd yn gyfreithlon, os nad yw’n “datblygiad” (is-adran (2)(a)) – hynny yw, os na ddeilliodd o ganlyniad i newid defnydd a oedd yn ffurfio datblygiad ar yr adeg y digwyddodd; neu, yn achos defnydd arfaethedig, os na fydd yn dod i fodolaeth o ganlyniad i newid a fydd yn gyfystyr â datblygiad.

Mae adran 3(2)(b) yn darparu y bydd newid sylweddol yn y defnydd o dir fel arfer yn golygu datblygiad; ac mae adran 5 yn egluro bod rhai defnyddiau penodol yn golygu newid sylweddol, hyd yn oed os na fyddent yn golygu hynny fel arall.

Mae adran 6(5) i (7), fodd bynnag, yn darparu nad yw rhai newidiadau yn y defnydd o dir yn golygu datblygiad (yn enwedig newid i’w ddefnyddio ar gyfer amaethyddiaeth neu goedwigaeth a newid o un defnydd o fewn gorchymyn dosbarthiadau defnydd i ddefnydd arall o fewn yr un dosbarth).

Mae adran 3(2)(a) yn darparu bod cyflawni gweithrediadau ar dir (hynny yw, mewn, ar, dros neu o dan dir: gweler adran 408(2)) yn ddatblygiad fel arfer.

Yn ail, bydd gan ddefnydd o dir imiwnedd rhag camau gorfodi, ac felly bydd yn gyfreithlon, os byddai newid i’r defnydd hwnnw yn ddatblygiad, ond na fyddai cais am ganiatâd cynllunio yn ofynnol (is-adran (2)(b)).

Yn drydydd, gall defnydd o dir fod yn ganlyniad i newid defnydd a oedd yn ddatblygiad ar yr adeg y digwyddodd ac na roddwyd caniatâd ar ei gyfer drwy orchymyn datblygu neu orchymyn datblygu lleol; neu gall fod gweithrediad wedi digwydd a oedd yn ddatblygiad ac na roddwyd caniatâd ar ei gyfer drwy unrhyw orchymyn bryd hynny.

Fodd bynnag, fel y nodir yn adran 113, dim ond o fewn cyfnod penodedig y gellir cymryd camau o’r fath – pedair neu ddeng mlynedd yn gyffredinol yn dibynnu ar natur y toriad.

Os yw’r cyfnod hwnnw wedi dod i ben heb i’r camau gorfodi gael eu cymryd, neu os cymerwyd camau ond na wnaethant arwain at hysbysiad gorfodi sydd bellach mewn grym, mae’r defnydd neu’r gweithrediad bellach yn gyfreithlon (is-adran (2)(c)).

Mae’r olaf yn arwyddocaol gan y bydd rhwymedigaeth gynllunio yn aml yn cynnwys ymgymeriadau gan y perchnogion tir i wneud pethau penodol (megis gwneud gwaith penodol, defnyddio tir mewn ffordd benodol neu i dalu arian); a chaniateir ymrwymo iddi mewn amgylchiadau pan fo’r tir yn cael ei drosglwyddo i berchnogion newydd ar ôl iddo gael ei ddatblygu.

Felly, mae rhwymedigaeth o’r fath yn wahanol i gyfamod cyfyngol na chaniateir ei orfodi yn erbyn perchnogion dilynol ond i’r graddau y mae’n cynnwys ymgymeriadau o natur negyddol (megis ymatal rhag defnyddio tir at ddibenion penodol).

O dan Ran 3 o’r Atodlen hon, mae ystyriaethau ychwanegol yn gymwys pan fo’r awdurdod cynllunio yn dymuno cymryd camau datbarhau mewn perthynas â datblygiad sy’n weithrediadau mwyngloddio neu sy’n dyddodi gwastraff.

Ystyr “gweithrediadau mwyngloddio” yw ennill a gweithio mwynau ar dir, pa un ai drwy weithio o dan y ddaear neu ar wyneb y ddaear (gweler adran 4(5)).

Mae hyn yn codi oherwydd bod natur datblygiad o’r fath yn golygu, pan fydd yn dod i ben – un ai dros dro neu’n barhaol – y gallai fod angen adfer y tir yr effeithir arno neu roi triniaeth arbennig iddo.

Mewn egwyddor, caniateir i orchymyn datbarhau gael ei wneud gan yr awdurdod cynllunio neu gan Weinidogion Cymru mewn perthynas â datblygiad o’r fath, o dan Ran 1 neu Ran 2 o Atodlen 14, yn union fel mewn unrhyw achos arall.

Fodd bynnag, pe bai gorchymyn yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol i’r defnydd o dir ar gyfer gweithrediadau mwyngloddio neu ddyddodi gwastraff yn unig ddod i ben, gallai hynny arwain at adael y tir mewn cyflwr anfoddhaol – yn union fel pan fo’r defnydd o dir at ddibenion o’r fath yn dod i ben yn naturiol.

Diffinnir amod o’r fath (gan baragraff 1(2)(a) o Atodlen 3) fel un sy’n ei gwneud yn ofynnol i’r tir y mae’r gweithrediadau neu’r dyddodi yn effeithio arno gael ei adfer drwy ddefnyddio isbridd, uwchbridd neu ddeunydd creu pridd.

Unwaith y bydd mwyngloddio neu ddyddodi gwastraff mwynau wedi dod i ben, mae perygl y gallai’r tir gael ei adael mewn cyflwr anfoddhaol, o bosibl am flynyddoedd lawer.

Mae Rhan 1 o’r Atodlen hon yn ei alluogi i wneud “gorchymyn gwahardd” pan fo tir wedi cael ei ddefnyddio yn y gorffennol ar gyfer gweithrediadau mwyngloddio neu ddyddodi gwastraff, ond bod y defnydd hwnnw wedi dod i ben yn barhaol.

Pan fo’r awdurdod o’r farn nad oes gweithgarwch o’r fath wedi digwydd ar y tir yn ystod y ddwy flynedd ddiwethaf ac nad yw’n debygol (ar sail y dystiolaeth sydd ar gael iddo) y bydd gweithgarwch o’r fath yn ailddechrau i unrhyw raddau sylweddol, caiff wneud gorchymyn gwahardd, yn gwahardd ailddechrau gweithrediadau mwyngloddio neu ddyddodi gwastraff mwynau (paragraff 1(1) a (3) i (5)).

Yn yr un modd, caiff Gweinidogion Cymru wneud gorchymyn o’r fath pan fo tir yng Nghymru wedi ei ddefnyddio yn y gorffennol ar gyfer datblygiad o’r fath ond nad oes gweithgarwch o’r fath wedi digwydd ar y tir yn ystod y ddwy flynedd ddiwethaf, a phan fo Gweinidogion Cymru yn ystyried nad yw’n debygol y bydd gweithgarwch o’r fath yn ailddechrau i unrhyw raddau sylweddol (paragraff 1(2) i (5)).

Pan gyflwynwyd y system gynllunio gyntaf, roedd pob apêl yn cael ei phenderfynu gan yr Ysgrifennydd Gwladol (ac yng Nghymru yn ddiweddarach gan Weinidogion Cymru yn dilyn datganoli’r system gynllunio); ond dros y degawdau olynol mae’r pŵer i benderfynu apelau mewn categorïau amrywiol wedi ei drosglwyddo’n raddol i arolygwyr.

Yn rhinwedd is-adran (2), mae’r ymadrodd “ar dir” yn y Ddeddf hon (ac eithrio yn Rhan 11) i’w ddehongli yn unol ag ystyr “mewn tir, ar dir, dros dir neu o dan dir”.

Mae hyn yn ystyried y ffaith, er enghraifft, fod gweithrediadau adeiladu fel arfer yn rhannol islaw lefel y ddaear ac yn rhannol uwchlaw lefel y ddaear – ac yn wir gall newid lefel y ddaear.

Mae is-adran (3) yn ymwneud â’r gwahanol ddarpariaethau yn y Ddeddf sy’n ei gwneud yn ofynnol i awdurdod cynllunio neu Weinidogion Cymru, wrth arfer swyddogaeth “roi sylw i’r cynllun datblygu ar gyfer ardal ac unrhyw ystyriaethau perthnasol eraill” – ac iddynt wneud eu penderfyniad yn unol â’r cynllun datblygu oni bai bod ystyriaethau perthnasol eraill yn dangos fel arall.

Fel y nodir mewn perthynas ag adran 66 o’r Ddeddf, yn y Saesneg mae i’r term “relevant consideration” yr un ystyr â’r term “material consideration” a ddefnyddiwyd mewn Deddfau cynllunio blaenorol.

Mae is-adran (3)(a) yn ei gwneud yn glir, wrth arfer unrhyw un neu ragor o’r swyddogaethau hynny, fod yr ystyriaethau y mae rhaid i’r awdurdod cynllunio neu Weinidogion Cymru roi sylw iddynt yn cynnwys polisïau cenedlaethol sy’n ymwneud â datblygiad tir a defnydd o dir a ddyroddir gan Weinidogion Cymru, i’r graddau y maent yn berthnasol i arfer y swyddogaeth o dan sylw.

Wrth arfer unrhyw swyddogaeth o’r fath, rhaid i’r awdurdod cynllunio neu Weinidogion Cymru hefyd roi sylw i ystyriaethau sy’n ymwneud â’r defnydd o’r Gymraeg, i’r graddau y maent yn berthnasol (is-adran (3)(b)).

Pan fo’r awdurdod yn penderfynu gwrthod caniatâd neu ei roi yn ddarostyngedig i amodau, a bod hwnnw’n destun apêl, caiff Gweinidogion Cymru (neu arolygydd ar eu rhan) benderfynu gwrthod yr apêl a chadarnhau penderfyniad yr awdurdod.
