Are you saying that maybe CJCs are a bit too big, and, maybe, if it was planning, if it was divided into two, or—?

Cyflenwad tai cymdeithasol: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
Thank you. That's interesting to know. And just on planning generally, what are the main issues? We've talked about capacity. The Welsh Government are talking about maybe using CJCs and sharing of planning officers to help. Earlier, there was also talk about…

Thank you. And can I just ask Emily—? You said you've got little land left for development now that you could develop on. Earlier, we were talking about sharing of public land, maybe owned by the police or owned by health. Is that an issue for you in north…

Can I just ask Jim as well: in your experience, do local authorities still have rural housing enablers, and even urban housing enablers, to do that housing assessment of need? Because it sounds to me that they don't.

Rosie, is that something—?

Can I just ask Rosie and Emily: is that because of statutory consultees taking so long? That was raised earlier—NRW and Dŵr Cymru et cetera.

So, land value tax on that land that's not being developed.

I think we have an issue—. I'm surrounded by brownfield sites, and they're developing on greenfield because it's easier, so it's trying to—. I'm quite interested in that suggestion of compulsory land purchase back as a suggestion.

Cyflenwad tai cymdeithasol: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 3
Yes. And then, if it's spread, accountability again. Or, driving it forward—you know, the higher the level sometimes, how can you drive that forward? Thank you.

Cyflenwad tai cymdeithasol: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 3
Okay.

I think, going back to that, because every public service is under pressure—Natural Resources Wales, planners—the buck gets passed. So, then you have to bring them together and say you've got to work together and get a plan in place, which is what has…

This one's on planning—a big one. Just your analysis of planning at the moment, and what improvement do you think could be made to help with the planning system?

I know pension funds have come in, haven't they, quite often? Okay. Shall I ask the next question?
5 Mehefin 2024 , Local Government and Housing Committee
Cyflenwad tai cymdeithasol: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 3
And is that through procurement? That's a measure, isn't it, as part of the contract?
5 Mehefin 2024 , Local Government and Housing Committee
Cyflenwad tai cymdeithasol: Sesiwn dystiolaeth 3
That's the written question.

Back to health and housing. The budget increased for housing last year—we were able to scrape a little bit extra through. It went to the SHG, and I think some more went to the TACP. I just want to ask a question again about TACP. Because a lot of the council…

Over half the budget goes on health, doesn't it?

Doing that at scale as well is much more affordable, because they're saying that it's difficult. Rural areas need housing, but building in small pockets of land can be really difficult, and getting that resource—the builders there, plumbers—whereas if you can…

I was just thinking it could be useful to ask the Minister where are we at with the cadastral mapping, which we've thought about previously, haven't we, at committee, when we looked at land value tax as well. And when we talk about public land, I know local…
