W E L S H S TAT U T O RY I N S T R U M E N T S 2007 No. 2933 (W.253) AGRICULTURE, WALES The Environmental Impact Assessment (Agriculture) (Wales) Regulations 2007 EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Regulations) These Regulations primarily implement Council Directive 85/337/EEC (OJ No. L175, 5.7.85, p40) on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (as last amended by Directive 2003/35/EC) (OJ No. L156, 25.6.03, p17) ("the EIA Directive") in relation to two types of project in paragraph 1 of Annex II to that Directive: projects for the restructuring of rural land holdings, and semi natural areas for intensive agricultural purposes. They also implement Council Directive 1992/43/EEC (OJ No. L206, 22.7.1992, p7) on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild flora and fauna (as last amended by the Act concerning the conditions of accession of the new member States) (OJ No. L236, 23.9.2003, p.667-70. See Annex II:16. Environment, C Nature protection.) ("the Habitats Directive") insofar as those projects affect sites protected by that Directive. Regulation 3 sets out the types of projects which are excluded from the scope of the Regulations. These include works which are covered by equivalent regulatory regimes covering forestry, water management and land drainage projects, the removal of hedgerows, the erection of buildings and fences and other work on common land, and the planning system. It also gives the Welsh Ministers the power to exclude certain projects from the scope of the Regulations in accordance with the EIA and Habitats Directives.

Maent yn gweithredu hefyd Gyfarwyddeb y Cyngor 1992/43/EEC (OJ Rhif L206, 22.7.1992, p7) ar gadwraeth cynefinoedd naturiol a fflora a ffawna gwyllt (fel y'i diwygiwyd ddiwethaf gan y Ddeddf ynghylch yr amodau ymaelodi i'r Aelod-wladwriaethau newydd) (OJ Rhif L236, 23.9.2003, t. 667-70. Gweler Atodiad II:16. Yr Amgylchedd, C Gwarchod natur) ("y Gyfarwyddeb Cynefinoedd") i'r graddau y mae'r prosiectau hynny'n effeithio ar safleoedd sy'n cael eu gwarchod gan y Gyfarwyddeb honno. Mae rheoliad 3 yn nodi'r mathau o brosiectau a eithrir o gwmpas y Rheoliadau. Mae'r rhain yn cynnwys gweithfeydd a gwmpesir gan gyfundrefnau rheoleiddio cyfatebol sy'n ymdrin â choedwigaeth, prosiectau rheoli dwr a thraenio tir, tynnu gwrych (perthi) ymaith, codi adeiladau a ffensys a gwaith arall ar dir comin, a'r system gynllunio. Mae'r rhoi i Weinidogion Cymru hefyd bwer i eithrio prosiectau penodol o gwmpas y Rheoliadau yn unol â'r Gyfarwyddeb AEA a'r Gyfarwyddeb Cynefinoedd. 1 Mae rheoliad 4 yn gwahardd unrhyw berson rhag dechrau neu gyflawni prosiect tir heb ei drin oni fydd y person hwnnw wedi cael penderfyniad sgrinio (penderfyniad ynghylch a yw'r prosiect yn debyg o gael effeithiau sylweddol ar yr amgylchedd). Mae'n gwahardd unrhyw berson rhag dechrau neu gyflawni prosiect ailstrwythuro oni fydd y person hwnnw wedi cael penderfyniad sgrinio i ganiatáu i'r prosiect fynd yn ei flaen, neu fod maint y prosiect islaw'r trothwy sy'n gymwys iddo. Mae rheoliad 5 ac Atodlen 1 yn nodi sut i gyfrifo'r trothwy priodol ar gyfer prosiect ailstrwythuro. Mae rheoliad 6 yn nodi'r hyn y mae'n rhaid ei gynnwys mewn cais am benderfyniad sgrinio, ac yn caniatáu i Weinidogion Cymru ofyn am ragor o wybodaeth os bydd angen. Mae rheoliad 7 ac Atodlen 2 yn nodi'r ffactorau sydd i'w cymryd i ystyriaeth gan Weinidogion Cymru pan fyddant yn gwneud penderfyniad sgrinio, a'r gweithdrefnau ynglyn â phenderfyniad sgrinio. Mae Atodlen 2 wedi'i seilio ar Atodiad III i'r Gyfarwyddeb AEA. Mae rheoliad 8 yn gwahardd person rhag dechrau neu gyflawni prosiect sy'n debyg o gael effeithiau sylweddol ar yr amgylchedd oni fydd wedi cael cydsyniad Gweinidogion Cymru yn gyntaf. Mae rheoliad 9 yn nodi'r weithdrefn y gall Gweinidogion Cymru ei defnyddio i roi i geisydd am gydsyniad farn gwmpasu (barn ar ba wybodaeth y dylid ei darparu mewn datganiad amgylcheddol). Mae rheoliad 10 yn nodi dyletswyddau cyrff ymgynghori y ceisir gwybodaeth oddi wrthynt mewn cysylltiad â barn gwmpasu neu gais am gydsyniad. Mae rheoliad 11 yn darparu bod rhaid i geisiadau am gydsyniad gynnwys datganiad amgylcheddol (o ran y cynnwys, gweler y diffiniad o "datganiad amgylcheddol" ac Atodlen 3), ac yn nodi'r gweithdrefnau ymgynghori ynglyn â'r cais. Mae rheoliad 12 yn nodi gweithdrefnau pellach ynglyn ag unrhyw wybodaeth bellach y mae'n ofynnol i'r ceisydd am gydsyniad ei rhoi. Mae rheoliadau 13 a 14 yn eu trefn yn nodi'r gweithdrefnau sydd i'w dilyn pan allai prosiect sylweddol yng Nghymru effeithio ar Wladwriaeth AEE arall, ac y gallai prosiect sylweddol mewn Gwladwriaeth AEE arall effeithio ar Gymru. Mae rheoliadau 15 ac 16 yn nodi'r ffactorau sydd i'w cymryd i ystyriaeth pan fydd Gweinidogion Cymru yn gwneud penderfyniad cydsynio, gan gynnwys y sefyllfa pan fydd prosiect yn debyg o effeithio ar safle Ewropeaidd, ac yn gwneud darpariaeth ar gyfer amseru penderfyniadau cydsynio. Mae rheoliad 17 yn nodi'r amodau y mae'n rhaid eu cymhwyso i gydsyniad ac mae rheoliad 18 yn nodi'r gweithdrefnau sy'n dilyn y penderfyniad cydsynio. Regulation 4 prohibits any person from beginning or carrying out a uncultivated land project unless that person has obtained a screening decision (a decision on whether the project is likely to have significant effects on the environment). It prohibits any person from beginning or carrying out a restructuring project unless that person has obtained a screening decision allowing the project to go ahead, or the extent of the project falls below the threshold applicable to it. Regulation 5 and Schedule 1 set out how to calculate the appropriate threshold for a restructuring project. Regulation 6 sets out what must be included in an application for a screening decision, and allows the Welsh Ministers to ask for further information if necessary. Regulation 7 and Schedule 2 set out the factors to be taken into consideration by the Welsh Ministers when they make a screening decision, and the procedures relating to screening decision. Schedule 2 is based on Annex III to the EIA Directive. Regulation 8 prohibits a person from beginning or carrying out a project likely to have significant effects on the environment unless he or she has first obtained consent from the Welsh Ministers. Regulation 9 sets out the procedure by which the Welsh Ministers can give an applicant for consent a scoping opinion (an opinion on what information should be provided in an environmental statement). Regulation 10 sets out the duties of consultation bodies from whom information is sought in connection with a scoping opinion or an application for consent. Regulation 11 provides that applications for consent must include an environmental statement (as to the content, see the definition of "environmental statement" and Schedule 3), and sets out consultation procedures relating to the application. Regulation 12 sets out further procedures relating to any further information that is required from the applicant for consent. Regulations 13 and 14 respectively set out the procedures to be followed where a significant project in Wales might affect another EEA State, and a significant project in another EEA State might affect Wales. Regulation 15 and 16 set out the factors to be taken into consideration when the Welsh Ministers make a consent decision, including the situation where a project is likely to affect a European site, and makes provision for the timing of consent decisions. Regulation 17 sets out the conditions which must be applied to a consent and regulation 18 sets out the procedures following the consent decision. 2 Mae rheoliad 19 yn gwneud darpariaeth ar y dull o drin prosiectau trawsffiniol. Mae rheoliad 20 ac Atodlen 4 yn gwneud darpariaeth benodol ar gyfer sefyllfa pan fo'r tir perthnasol, ar ôl i gydsyniad gael ei roi, yn dod yn safle Ewropeaidd. Mae rheoliad 21 yn ei gwneud yn dramgwydd i ddechrau neu gyflawni prosiect heb gael penderfyniad sgrinio neu benderfyniad cydsynio (pan fo'r rhain yn ofynnol). Mae rheoliad 22 yn ei gwneud yn dramgwydd i dorri unrhyw un o amodau'r cydsyniad. Mae rheoliad 23 yn ei gwneud yn dramgwydd i sicrhau penderfyniad drwy dwyll neu i ddarparu gwybodaeth neu ddogfennau anwir neu gamarweiniol. Mae rheoliad 24 yn rhoi pwer i Weinidogion Cymru ddyroddi "hysbysiadau stop" yn gwahardd personau rhag parhau â gwaith a ddechreuwyd heb y cydsyniad angenrheidiol. Mae rheoliad 25 yn ei gwneud yn dramgwydd i fynd yn groes i hysbysiad stop. Mae rheoliad 26 yn rhoi pwer i Weinidogion Cymru ddyroddi "hysbysiadau adfer" sy'n ei gwneud yn ofynnol i berson sydd wedi torri'r Rheoliadau adfer ei dir i'r cyflwr yr oedd ynddo cyn i'r prosiect gael ei ddechrau neu i gyflwr amgylcheddol da neu i'r safon y bydd Gweinidogion Cymru yn dyfarnu ei bod yn rhesymol yn yr amgylchiadau. Mae rheoliad 27 yn ei gwneud yn dramgwydd i fethu â chydymffurfio ag hysbysiad adfer heb esgus rhesymol. Mae rheoliad 28 yn caniatáu i erlyniadau o dan reoliadau 21, 22, 23, 25 a 27 gael eu dwyn o fewn 6 mis i'r dyddiad y daw tystiolaeth ddigonol yn hysbys i'r erlynydd. Ond rhaid dwyn erlyniadau o fewn 2 flynedd i'r dyddiad y cyflawnwyd y tramgwydd. Mae rheoliad 29 yn darparu pwerau i fynd i mewn ac arolygu sy'n gysylltiedig â gorfodi, ac yn caniatáu i ddogfennau a sbesimenau planhigion a sbesimenau pridd gael eu cymryd. Mae'n caniatáu i Weinidogion Cymru wneud gwaith sy'n ofynnol o dan hysbysiad adfer ac nad yw wedi'i wneud o fewn y cyfnod amser gofynnol, ac i adennill y costau. Mae'n ei gwneud yn ofynnol i bersonau, yr eir ar eu tir ac yr arolygir eu tir, gynorthwyo personau awdurdodedig, ac mae'n ei gwneud yn dramgwydd i'w rhwystro neu i'w hatal yn fwriadol neu i fethu â rhoi cymorth iddynt heb esgus rhesymol. Mae rheoliadau 30 a 31 yn nodi darpariaethau a gweithdrefnau apelio. Mae Atodlen 5 yn gwneud darpariaeth ar gyfer adegau pan fo apelau yn cael eu cynnal gan berson penodedig. Mae rheoliadau 32 a 33 yn eu trefn yn nodi gweithdrefnau pellach ar gyfer apelau drwy sylwadau ysgrifenedig ac apelau drwy wrandawiad neu ymchwiliad lleol. Mae rheoliad 34 yn darparu y caiff person a dramgwyddir gan benderfyniad nad yw prosiect yn brosiect sylweddol, neu gan benderfyniad yn rhoi cydsyniad ar gyfer prosiect, apelio i'r Uchel Lys. Regulation 19 makes provision on the treatment of transborder projects. Regulation 20 and Schedule 4 make specific provision for the situation where, following a grant of consent, the relevant land becomes a European site. Regulation 21 makes it an offence to begin or carry out a project without obtaining a screening decision or a consent decision (where these are required). Regulation 22 makes it an offence to breach a condition of consent. Regulation 23 makes it an offence to procure a decision by deception or to supply of false or misleading information or documents. Regulation 24 empowers the Welsh Ministers to issue "stop notices" prohibiting persons from continuing work begun without the necessary consent. Regulation 25 makes it an offence to contravene a stop notice. Regulation 26 empowers the Welsh Ministers to issue "remediation notices" requiring a person in breach of the Regulations to return his or her land to the condition it was in before the project was commenced or to good environmental condition or such standard as the Welsh Ministers determine reasonable in the circumstances. Regulation 27 makes it an offence to fail to comply with a remediation notice without reasonable excuse. Regulation 28 allows prosecutions under regulations 21, 22, 23, 25 and 27 to be brought within 6 months of the date sufficient evidence comes to the prosecutor's knowledge. But prosecutions must be brought within 2 years of the date on which the offence is committed. Regulation 29 provides powers of entry and inspection in connection with enforcement, and allows the removal of documents and of plant and soil specimens. It permits the Welsh Ministers to carry out works required by a remediation notice which have not been done within the required timescale, and to recover the costs. It requires persons whose land is being entered and inspected to assist authorised persons, and makes it an offence intentionally to obstruct or impede them or to fail to provide them with assistance without reasonable excuse. Regulations 30 and 31 set out appeals provisions and procedures. Schedule 5 makes provision for when appeals are conducted by an appointed person. Regulations 32 and 33 respectively set out further procedures for appeals by written representations and appeals by hearing or local inquiry. Regulation 34 provides that a person aggrieved by a decisions that a project is not a significant project, or a decision granting consent for a project, may appeal to the High Court. 3 Mae rheoliad 36 yn diwygio Rheoliadau Cynllun Taliad Sengl a Chynlluniau Cymorth y Polisi Amaethyddol Cyffredin (Trawsgydymffurfio) (Cymru) 2004 (O.S 2004/3280 (Cy.284)) o ganlyniad i ddyfodiad i rym y Rheoliadau hyn.

An appointment must be in writing and (a) may relate to any particular appeal or matter specified in the appointment or to appeals or matters of a specified description; (b) may provide for any function to which it relates to be exercisable by the appointed person either unconditionally or subject to the fulfilment of any conditions specified in the appointment; and (c) may, by notice given to the appointed person, be revoked at any time by the Welsh Ministers in respect of any appeal or matter which has not been determined by the appointed person before that time. 3.

(4) Rhaid i'r person penodedig hysbysu'r apelydd, Gweinidogion Cymru, ac unrhyw bersonau a hysbysodd Weinidogion Cymru eu bod yn dymuno cyflwyno sylwadau o dan reoliad 31(6), o benderfyniad y person penodedig i gynnal gwrandawiad neu ymchwiliad lleol (yn ôl y digwydd). (5) Os bydd person penodedig yn cynnal ymchwiliad lleol neu wrandawiad arall o dan yr Atodlen hon, caiff Gweinidogion Cymru benodi asesydd i eistedd gyda'r person penodedig i'w gynghori ar unrhyw faterion sy'n codi, er gwaethaf y ffaith mai'r person penodedig sydd i ddyfarnu ar y mater neu'r apêl.
