Mae crynhoad mannau gamblo, yn enwedig yn y cymunedau mwyaf difreintiedig yng Nghymru, yn bryder sy’n cael ei gydnabod. Bydd Llywodraeth Cymru’n ystyried canfyddiadau adroddiad ar y cyd ar Gamblo ac Iechyd Cyhoeddus gan Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru (PHW) a Phrifysgol Bangor fel sail i gamau lleol a chenedlaethol i atal niwed sy’n gysylltiedig â gamblo ledled Cymru. Gall hyn gynnwys ystyried a allwn ddefnyddio newidiadau arfaethedig i’r system gynllunio i fynd i’r afael â ‘gorgrynhoad’ o siopau betio (Ymgynghoriad Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfuno Gorchymyn Cynllunio Gwlad a Thref (Dosbarthiadau Defnydd) 1987 (UCO) a Gorchymyn Cynllunio Gwlad a Thref (Datblygu Cyffredinol a Ganiateir) 1995 (GDPO)).
The concentration of gambling venues, particularly the more deprived communities across Wales, is a recognised concern. The Welsh Government will consider the findings of a joint report on Gambling and Public Health by Public Health Wales (PHW) and Bangor University to help inform local and national actions to prevent gambling related harms across Wales. This may include whether we are able to use proposed changes to the planning system (Welsh Government consultation on the consolidation of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 (UCO) and Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 (GPDO). 31 May 2018) to address any ‘over-concentration’ of betting offices.
