Crynodeb o'r Gynrychiolaeth:

Planning is a big barrier for small business. The cost of submitting a proposal, even before they get to the build phase, is expensive, (planning fees, architects costs etc). If a business is refused planning it impacts on them financially, along with their confidence to do business in the area. The FSB would encourage Council to be more flexible with their planning processes, particularly around change of use, and have an open door planning process generally. Simplifying planning applications for minor building works will also help small businesses grow or diversify.
