Yr Ardal o Fudd

Bydd yr ardal o fudd yn canolbwyntio ar y rhai sydd agosaf at y safle a’r cymunedau gwledig hynny sydd agosaf i’r safle ddylai fod y prif fuddiolwyr. Bydd cymunedau o fewn radiws o 10 cilomedr o Fferm Wynt Brenig yn ffurfio’r ardal o fudd. Gallai prosiectau yn ardal allanol y radiws o 15 cilomedr gael eu cefnogi, fodd bynnag, byddai angen i’r rhai yn y radiws allanol allu dangos yn glir sut y gallant fod o fudd yn yr ardal fewnol.

Bydd angen i’ch cais ddangos sut mae eich prosiect yn creu budd arwyddocaol i gymunedau yn yr ardal o fudd ar gyfer y gronfa sy’n radiws o 10 cilomedr o’r safle.
