Thank you, Chair. The committee received mixed views on the 52-week statutory time frame for deciding applications. Some respondents were concerned it could slow down decisions on smaller projects, and others said it wasn't long enough for more complex…

Don't get me going on that. So many times that—[Interruption.] No, I'll just raise—[Interruption.] If I can just make the point that the enforcement doesn't happen any more. Certainly, you know, they haven't got the resources now, the local authorities, to…

Exactly right. And, of course, for me, it's always—it's made me rather interested that you have NRW, who issue marine licences, and then they are the enforcement body. I've always found that, you know, at odds. I've put loads of questions in over the years…

Bil Seilwaith (Cymru) - Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda grwpiau cymunedol a’r Sefydliad Cynllunio Trefol Brenhinol yng Nghymru
Thank you. Very interesting questions there. You say in your paper that while the number of enforcement cases is expected to be low, you're concerned about the technical and resourcing requirements should LPAs be required to carry out enforcement. Could you…

Because local authorities are very stretched, and have been for a number of years, I've actually witnessed first-hand where a local authority has been almost supporting the big development and trying to get on with it because there's a community benefit tied…

Having attended one or two planning hearings and inspections and things, it has always galled me, particularly in housing developments, where the developer turns up, probably with the best barrister in the country, and then anyone fighting the other side, be…

Thank you. This is to the RTPI. You highlight in your paper that Planning and Environment Decisions Wales, PEDW, will have all costs reimbursed, but that local planning authorities will only have costs associated with local impact reports reimbursed, and no…

So, respondents to our consultation generally support the infrastructure categories included in the Bill, although some have commented that energy storage and hydrogen projects could also be included. I suppose I was quite surprised that they weren't. What…

Yes, thank you. Last week, the local planning authorities told us they were concerned about the impact the enforcement requirements of the Bill would have on them, and mainly talked about lack of skills. Because I pointed out that we need 120 planners, I…

NRW, you say in your paper: 'The framework nature of the Bill does make it challenging to review and understand the full implications to NRW’s statutory functions.' Could you expand on that, please? [Interruption.] Oh, sorry.

Thank you. Good morning. The Minister has argued the balance is right between what's on the face of the Bill—I'm trying to look here—and what's left to subordinate legislation, because it allows for necessary flexibility. Do you agree with that assessment…

Dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig: Y gyllideb iechyd
Oni fyddech yn cytuno â mi, os edrychwch ar yr union graffiau hynny, fod gwariant ar y gwasanaeth iechyd yn Lloegr wedi cynyddu, ac os edrychwch ar y graffiau ar gyfer Cymru, fod y gwariant wedi lleihau?

Dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig: Y gyllideb iechyd
Mae grŵp gwariant y Gymraeg ac addysg wedi profi diffygion cyllid dro ar ôl tro gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Fel rhan o'r gyllideb derfynol ar gyfer 2023-24, derbyniodd £3.43 biliwn mewn cyllid, gan arwain at doriad mewn termau arian parod o £43 miliwn o gymharu â’r…
