Janet Finch-Saunders, the Member of the Senedd for Bangor, Conwy and Môn, has been a strong advocate against the proposed development of Penrhos Nature Reserve.

Penrhos receives around 100,000 visitors each year, making it one of the most visited sites on Ynys Môn. It is also home to endangered species and vital habitats, including those supporting the iconic red squirrel.

It is vital that the owners of Penrhos do not overdevelop this precious area. Any development must be carried out sensitively, with the nature reserve, the environment and its wildlife at the heart of every decision.

The 500 lodges, the restaurant, the facilities and significant increase in parking spaces proposed in the planning application are excessive and risk causing serious harm to this vital environment. Protecting Penrhos will become even more important as we face the growing impacts of climate change.

Janet was delighted to visit and walk around the reserve with Hilary Paterson-Jones and Director Katuma McLaughlin, who have been leading the call for this essential site to be protected and preserved for future generations.

Following the visit Janet commented:

“I would like to thank Hilary and Katuma, for showing me around the reserve. Penrhos Nature Reserve is far too precious to be sacrificed to overdevelopment. This is not just an area of outstanding natural beauty; it is a vital home for endangered wildlife, including our iconic red squirrels, and a much-loved destination for around 100,000 visitors every year.

“The proposed 500 lodges and extensive additional parking are excessive and risk causing lasting damage to this irreplaceable environment. As we face the increasing impacts of climate change, protecting our natural spaces has never been more important.

“Any development at Penrhos must be genuinely sympathetic to its surroundings, with the protection of the reserve, its habitats and its wildlife placed firmly at the heart of every decision.”

Mae Janet Finch-Saunders, AS Bangor Conwy Môn, wedi bod yn eiriolwr cryf yn erbyn datblygiad arfaethedig Gwarchodfa Natur Penrhos.

Mae tua 100,000 o bobl yn ymweld â Phenrhos bob blwyddyn, sy'n golygu ei fod yn un o atyniadau mwyaf poblogaidd Ynys Môn. Mae hefyd yn gartref i rywogaethau sydd mewn perygl a chynefinoedd hanfodol, gan gynnwys y rhai sy'n cefnogi'r wiwer goch eiconig.

Mae'n hanfodol nad yw perchnogion Penrhos yn gorddatblygu'r ardal werthfawr hon. Rhaid i unrhyw ddatblygiad gael ei wneud mewn modd sensitif, gyda'r warchodfa natur, yr amgylchedd a'i bywyd gwyllt wrth wraidd pob penderfyniad.

Mae'r 500 o gabanau, y bwyty, y cyfleusterau a'r cynnydd sylweddol mewn lleoedd parcio a gynigir yn y cais cynllunio yn ormod a gallant achosi niwed difrifol i'r amgylchedd hanfodol hwn. Bydd gwarchod Penrhos yn dod yn bwysicach fyth wrth i ni wynebu effeithiau cynyddol newid hinsawdd.

Roedd Janet yn falch iawn o ymweld a cherdded o amgylch y warchodfa gyda Hilary Paterson-Jones a'r Cyfarwyddwr Katuma McLaughlin, sydd wedi bod yn arwain yr alwad am i’r safle hanfodol hwn gael ei warchod ar gyfer cenedlaethau'r dyfodol.

Yn dilyn yr ymweliad, dywedodd Janet:

"Hoffwn ddiolch i Hilary a Katuma am fy nhywys o gwmpas y warchodfa. Mae Gwarchodfa Natur Penrhos yn llawer rhy werthfawr i'w aberthu i orddatblygu. Nid ardal o harddwch naturiol eithriadol yn unig yw hon; mae'n gartref hanfodol i fywyd gwyllt sydd mewn perygl, gan gynnwys ein gwiwerod coch eiconig, ac yn gyrchfan boblogaidd i tua 100,000 o ymwelwyr bob blwyddyn.

"Mae'r 500 o gabanau arfaethedig a’r lleoedd parcio ychwanegol helaeth yn ormod a gallant achosi difrod parhaol i'r amgylchedd anhygoel hwn. A ninnau’n wynebu effeithiau cynyddol newid hinsawdd, nid yw amddiffyn ein mannau naturiol erioed wedi bod yn bwysicach.

"Rhaid i unrhyw ddatblygiad ym Mhenrhos weddu i’r amgylchoedd, gyda gwarchod y warchodfa, ei chynefinoedd a'i bywyd gwyllt wrth wraidd pob penderfyniad."
