Mae cynllunio’n ymwneud â sut caiff ein trefi, ein dinasoedd a’n cefn gwlad eu datblygu. Mae hyn yn cynnwys ymddangosiad adeiladau, defnyddio tir ac ystyriaethau tirlunio, mynediad i briffyrdd ac effaith y datblygiad ar yr amgylchedd yn gyffredinol.
Ar gyfer llawer o fathau o waith adeiladu, bydd angen caniatâd ar wahân i’r ddau. Ar gyfer gwaith adeiladu arall, megis newidiadau mewnol, mae’n debygol y bydd angen cymeradwyaeth Rheoliadau Adeiladu, ond efallai na fydd angen caniatâd Cynllunio. Os oes gennych unrhyw amheuaeth, dylech gysylltu â’ch Awdurdod Cynllunio a’ch tîm Rheolaethi Adeiladu lleol drwy chwilio am y cod post.
