The Council will ensure that development supports and sustains the long term well-being of the Welsh language, and will resist development which, because of its size, scale or location, will significantly harm the character and linguistic balance of a community. This will be achieved by requiring proposals which are likely to have a significant effect (including cumulative impact) on the Welsh language to be accompanied by a linguistic statement and/or, in some cases, by a linguistic impact assessment (including cumulative impact).
