Ers eu cyhoeddi am y tro cyntaf yn 2015, mae'r canllawiau wedi bod yn sylfaen ar gyfer polisïau a gweithdrefnau Trosglwyddo Asedau Cymunedol sawl awdurdod cyhoeddus ar draws Cymru. Datblygwyd y canllawiau mewn ymateb i adborth a ddaeth i law o amrywiol sectorau, gan gynnwys awdurdodau lleol, y trydydd sector a chynghorau tref a chymuned, a nododd fod angen datblygu dogfen ganllawiau gyffredinol i gefnogi'r broses Trosglwyddo Asedau Cymunedol.
Since its first publication in 2015, the guide has become a foundation stone for the Community Asset Transfer policies and procedures undertaken by many public authorities across Wales. It was developed in response to feedback received from various sectors, including local authorities, the third sector, and town and community councils, which identified that there was a need to develop an overarching guidance document to support the Community Asset Transfer process.
