Placemaking Wales Partnership and Charter

The Placemaking Wales Charter has been developed in collaboration with the Placemaking Wales Partnership which is made up of stakeholders representing a wide range of interests. The Charter reflects the collective and individual commitment of these organisations to support the development of high-quality places across Wales for the benefit of communities.

RTPI Cymru is pleased to be a founding signatory of the Placemaking Wales Charter which was launched at Welsh Planner Live in September 2020.

In support of the Placemaking Wales Charter we have published our advice note which draws on the learning from past Wales Planning Award winners.

Caiff anghenion, dyheadau, iechyd a llesiant pobl eu hystyried o'r dechrau'n deg. Caiff cynigion eu lluno er mwyn helpu i ddiwallu'r anghenion hyn a hefyd greu, integreiddio, diogelu a/neu wella ymdeimlad o gymdeithas a hyrwyddo cydraddoldeb.

The local community are involved in the development of proposals. The needs, aspirations, health and well-being of all people are considered at the outset. Proposals are shaped to help to meet these needs as well as create, integrate, protect and/or enhance a sense of community and promote equality.
Mae lleoedd yn tyfu ac yn datblygu mewn modd sy'n defnyddio tir mewn modd effeithlon, yn cefnogi ac yn gwella lleoedd presennol ac sydd â chysylltiadau da. Caiff lleoliad tai, swyddi a hamdden a chyfleusterau eraill ei gynllunio er mwyn helpu i leihau'r angen i deithio.

Places grow and develop in a way that uses land efficiently, supports and enhances existing places and is well connected. The location of housing, employment and leisure and other facilities are planned to help reduce the need to travel.
Caiff cerdded, beicio a thrafnidiaeth gyhoeddus eu blaenoriaethu er mwyn cynnig dewis o ddulliau teithio ac osgoi dibyniaeth ar gerbydau preifat. Mae llwybrau teithio llesol sydd wedi'u dylunio'n dda ac sy'n ddiogel yn cysylltu â'r rhwydwaith teithio llesol a thrafnidiaeth gyhoeddus ehangach a chaiff gorsafoedd trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus ac arosfannau eu hintegreiddio mewn modd positif.

Walking, cycling and public transport are prioritised to provide a choice of transport modes and avoid dependence on private vehicles. Well designed and safe active travel routes connect to the wider active travel and public transport network and public transport stations and stops are positively integrated.
Mae gan leoedd wahanol ddibenion sy'n creu cyfleoedd ar gyfer datblygu cymunedau, tyfu busnesau lleol a sicrhau mynediad at swyddi, gwasanaethau a chyfleusterau drwy gerdded, beicio neu drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus. Mae dwysedd datblygu a gwahanol ddefnyddiau a deiliadaethau yn helpu i gefnogi cymunedau amrywiol a thir llewyrchus i'r cyhoedd.

Places have a range of purposes which provide opportunities for community development, local business growth and access jobs, services and facilities via walking, cycling or public transport. Development density and a mix of uses and tenures helps to support a diverse community and vibrant public realm.
Mae strydoedd a mannau cyhoeddus wedi'u diffinio'n dda, yn groesawgar, yn ddiogel ac yn gynhwysol gyda hunaniaeth unigryw. Maent wedi'u dylunio i fod yn gadarn ac yn rhai y mae modd eu haddasu gyda thirwedd, seilwaith gwyrdd a draenio cynaliadwy sydd wedi'u hintegreiddio'n dda. Maent wedi'u cysylltu'n dda â lleoedd presennol ac yn hyrwyddo cyfleoedd ar gyfer rhyngweithio cymdeithasol a gwahanol weithgareddau ar gyfer pawb.

Streets and public spaces are well defined, welcoming, safe and inclusive with a distinct identity. They are designed to be robust and adaptable with landscape, green infrastructure and sustainable drainage well integrated. They are well connected to existing places and promote opportunities for social interaction and a range of activities for all people.
Caiff nodweddion positif ac unigryw lleoedd presennol eu gwerthfawrogi a'u parchu. Caiff y nodweddion a'r cyfleoedd unigryw sydd ynghlwm wrth leoliad gan gynnwys treftadaeth, diwylliant, iaith a nodweddion ffisegol adeiledig a naturiol eu pennu ac ymatebir iddynt.

The positive, distinctive qualities of existing places are valued and respected. The unique features and opportunities of a location including heritage, culture, language, built and natural physical attributes are identified and responded to.
