Planning Lessons from the Great Smoky Sprawl Zone

If you have not visited Great Smoky Mountains National Park from the Tennessee side, you may not be aware of the otherworldly experience that awaits outside the park along “The Parkway” (generally signed as U.S 441 or TN 66 for most of its length). Here are some planning lessons from this eye-popping stretch of commercial chaos. Peace!

• It is approximately 35 miles from Interstate 40 to the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Within that distance, one can observe some good examples of land use planning in the United States, but many more bad ones. It’s almost like a 35 miles long microcosm of America.

• On the good side – Gatlinburg, despite its commercial vacationland persona and image is actually quite an attractive community. The city has found ways to mitigate much of (not all) the commercialism with a touch of panache. Being a heavily forest city and having adopted architectural design standards are both helpful.

• On the bad side – The transition from revered natural sanctuary in the abutting national park to instant urbanity is quite shocking. One feels like they passed through a time warp or the land use equivalent of the looking glass.

• On the good side – Gatlinburg may have more mid-block pedestrian crosswalks per capita than another city in the country. This enhances pedestrian movement, which during the often congested traffic is likely the quickest mode of travel about town.

• On the bad side – Pigeon Forge is much the antithesis of Gatlinburg. This retired planner’s jaw dropped while driving through Pigeon Forge. Think the Vegas Strip, Myrtle Beach, and Orlando all combined.

• On the good side – Dolly Parton’s hometown of Sevierville has a walkable downtown with interesting sights. By the way, her statue is very sweet. Sevierville has done a nice job of promoting historic and notable sights in the central core. The streetscaping along several downtown streets is also quite impressive.

• On the bad side – Outside of downtown, Sevierville appears to have caught the same “sprawlitis” virus that infected Pigeon Forge.

• On the good side – Thank goodness there is a serene natural forest buffer between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge to break up the continuous sprawl along “The Parkway.”

• On the mixed side – Both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge offer trolley transit services, though the headway of 15-25 minutes +/- along The Parkway between rides is too long during peak seasons is less than ideal.

• On the bad side – One really has to wonder how many of the millions of tourists who come to the maze of commercialism along “The Parkway” actually go and visit the beauty and sanctity of Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

• On the mixed side – For those of us who love the great outdoors, this region offers amazing opportunities to commune with nature along with a great deal of easily accessible services…as long as you are willing to pass in and out of the time warp.

• Question to consider – Exactly how does one develop ordinance language for “uniquely-styled” buildings designed and built as an obvious tourist attraction?

• On the unknown side – Not all commercial enterprises are successful along “The Parkway” despite the millions of people attracted here. Planning for the reuse and/or redevelopment of such sites must be considered…preferably during the initial review process.

• On the curious side – One also has to also wonder how and when do the locals safely pop their heads out from the safety of their abode to run errands and whatnot while the coast is relatively clear. Planning for the locals amid a vast sea of visitors is a unique challenge to tourist communities. Fyi – there are a number of posts/stories on the internet by locals on how best to negotiate or avoid the traffic here in the Great Smoky Sprawl Zone.

PENLLERGAER: Giant distribution warehouse approved next to M4 – but will Junction 47 grind to a halt?

A giant distribution warehouse has been approved for Penllergaer Business Park — but the decision has been overshadowed by deep concerns about the impact on one of Swansea’s most congested junctions.

Swansea Council’s planning committee gave the go-ahead on March 31, 2026, for the demolition of the existing vacant building on the site off Heol y Ddraig and its replacement with a modern storage and distribution centre covering more than 12,000 square metres.

The facility, which will operate as a so-called “last mile” distribution hub — the final stage in the delivery chain from warehouse to front door — will sit on an 11-hectare plot bordered to the north by the A48 and the M4 motorway, and to the south by the ancient woodland and historic parkland of Penllergare Valley Woods.

The applicant, Stoford Properties Ltd, says the development will create approximately 180 full-time equivalent jobs directly, with a further 70 or so indirect roles, and is expected to contribute around £5.5 million a year to the local economy.

The scheme is a major operation. At full capacity, the site will accommodate 899 van storage bays, 72 loading bays capable of processing up to 216 vans an hour, 221 staff car parking spaces and a multi-storey van storage structure rising to over eight metres. Overnight, hundreds of delivery vehicles will be stored on site, loaded up and dispatched across Swansea and beyond each morning.

But it is the impact on the roads surrounding the site that dominated the planning process — and which will continue to concern residents long after the decision.

The applicant’s own traffic assessment concluded that the development would generate up to 454 two-way vehicle movements during the morning and evening peak periods. Around half of those are expected to use Junction 47 of the M4, the major roundabout that connects the A48, the A483 and the motorway — a junction that already operates beyond its design capacity and has been the subject of repeated attempts to ease congestion.

Swansea Bay News has previously reported on efforts to tackle the notorious pinchpoint, including a traffic light upgrade at the junction and resurfacing works on the roundabout itself. In February last year, the Welsh Government indicated it would look again at M4 junction improvements in the area, though no firm commitment has followed.

The ward member for Penllergaer, Councillor Tony Fitzgerald, put his objection on the record in the planning report, arguing the scheme was more of an industrial operation than a business park use and was simply not suitable for this location.

“Junction 47 is currently running at over its design capacity,” he wrote. “Adding up to 454 two-way vehicle movements during the morning and evening peak periods would mean an extra 227 vehicles using junction 47.”

Penllergaer Community Council went further, formally requesting that the application be refused, describing what it called “the abysmal failure” of the council’s own Local Development Plan to deliver the transport infrastructure needed to support development in the area. The Community Council pointed to the applicant’s own traffic assessment, which acknowledged that no committed highway schemes were planned for the study area between 2025 and 2037.

The council’s own highway officers initially recommended refusal on highway safety grounds. However, following extensive negotiations and revisions to the proposed mitigation scheme, the Local Highway Authority eventually withdrew its objection — subject to a series of stringent conditions and a substantial legal agreement.

Those conditions include a requirement that the distribution centre cannot open until junction mitigation works at M4 Junction 47 have been fully completed. The applicant will be required to contribute £790,000 towards those works, with an additional £131,000 earmarked for bus stop improvements, pedestrian crossing upgrades, a speed limit reduction on the A48 from 50mph to 40mph, and traffic regulation orders in the surrounding area — a total highway contribution package of £921,000.

The broader concern for many in the area is cumulative. Penllergaer and the land between it and Gowerton is already at the centre of one of Swansea’s most significant development pressures. A 600-home scheme that could create a continuous ribbon of housing from Penllergaer to Gowerton has already been unveiled, part of a wider pattern of residential growth in Swansea’s northwest that has already put pressure on local roads. As we have previously reported, Swansea’s Local Development Plan promised more than 7,000 new homes across its lifetime, with delivery now significantly behind.

Against that backdrop, residents in nearby Mansion Gardens and the wider Parc Penllergaer estate will be watching closely to see whether the promised road works materialise before the warehouse opens its doors.

Beyond the traffic debate, the planning process also grappled with the site’s sensitive surroundings. The southern boundary of the development abuts Penllergare Valley Woods — a Grade II Registered Historic Park and Garden containing scheduled ancient monuments, listed structures and ancient woodland. Heritage bodies Cadw and Heneb both confirmed they had no objection, with noise assessments indicating the development was unlikely to cause harm to the historic landscape.

The ecology picture was more complex. Surveys identified areas of wet woodland and swamp habitat on site deemed to be of local conservation significance, and the council’s ecologists concluded that the development would result in a net loss of biodiversity on site. To compensate, the developer will be required to fund £390,593 worth of off-site habitat improvement works at three nearby Sites of Interest for Nature Conservation, including Mynydd Garngoch — secured through a legal agreement running over 25 years.

The site also sits partly within a Coal Authority Development High Risk Area, with evidence of past coal mining in the northern section. No above-ground construction can begin until intrusive ground investigations have been completed and any necessary stabilisation works carried out.

Solar panels covering around a third of the warehouse roof are proposed, generating an estimated 72,000 kilowatt hours a year, and the site will include electric vehicle charging infrastructure and 36 cycle parking spaces.

Welsh Water has confirmed the site’s foul drainage will connect to Gowerton Wastewater Treatment Works, which is currently failing to meet compliance thresholds. An upgrade is due to be completed in January 2027, and the council has imposed a condition preventing the building from being occupied before that date unless Welsh Water confirms the work is done.

The planning approval is conditional on the developer completing a Section 106 legal agreement within six months. If that agreement is not signed in time, officers have been given delegated powers to refuse the application outright.

For the communities of Penllergaer and Llangyfelach, the decision means one thing above all else: the promised Junction 47 works must now be delivered before a single van rolls out of the new depot. Whether that promise is kept will be the real test of whether this approval works for local people.

REVEALED: Swansea named worst for commuters in Wales as gridlock hits home

Shocking new analysis has revealed that the city has the toughest commute in the country, topping the rankings for average journey times, congestion, and slow traffic speeds across Welsh towns and cities.

The research, conducted by office infrastructure experts Co-space, shows that Swansea workers face a gruelling 26-minute average commute each way.

When combined with a 15% congestion level and average peak speeds of just 25 km/h, Swansea hits a chart-topping “commuter pressure score” of 19.7.

Over a full year, that 26-minute journey adds up to more than 215 hours spent travelling to and from work—the same as sitting in a car or on a bus for nine entire days.

The findings highlight a massive divide in travel experiences across the region, with Port Talbot motorists already feeling the pinch from a year of major roadworks. Motorists on Mumbles Road are also facing three months of lane closures for vital gas pipe upgrades.

Perhaps surprisingly, Cardiff didn’t take the top spot, despite having the highest congestion rate at 16%. The capital’s shorter 22-minute average commute kept its pressure score down at 9.7, ranking it well outside the top ten.

In our area, Neath and Ammanford both saw smoother runs with average commutes of 22 minutes, while Llanelli recorded a 24-minute average journey and a pressure score of 12.1.

William Sokes, CEO of Co-space, has warned that even small differences in commute times can have a “knock-on effect” on employee wellbeing and productivity.

“What’s striking about this data is how clearly Swansea stands apart from the rest of Wales,” Mr Sokes stated, adding that infrastructure is struggling to keep pace with growth.

The news comes as Swansea-based research programmes continue to look into smarter, greener ways for the region to move forward amid the ongoing climate challenge.

Related tips in “Bike to Farmers Markets” https://bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tourists/food-for-all and in “Shopping by Bike”: https://bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tourists/unique-attractions

DMC is in city of Monterey. The city’s bike-aware leaders, e.g., Mayor Tyller Williamson and Council Member Gino Garcia (whose day job is working for Ecology Action of Santa Cruz / Lets Modo) may be unaware that we formerly had in that Shopping section of the Tips guide a detailed map listing all Del Monte Center bike rack locations. Their ED at that time himself biked to work! Why is that detailed map no longer in our guide? Because DMC 🔥REMOVED those bike racks! 😭#NotProgress #GoingBackward #CarbonEmissions #TrafficCongestion #Monterey #ActOnClimate #ClimateCrisis #transportation

[Video + gift article] Plan to extend turnpike through #farmland gets slammed before first public meeting

The #MaineTurnpikeAuthority is hosting a public meeting Monday evening on the #GorhamConnector, its plan to build a 5-mile, 4-lane highway spur from the turnpike in #SouthPortlandMaine to the #GorhamBypass.

by Kelly Bouchard
March 25, 2024

"Speakers at the press conference said the connector would worsen or simply relocate #TrafficCongestion and exacerbate #pollution and other #environmental problems.

"Warren Knight, one of six siblings involved in the farm, questioned whether the authority chose to build the connector through the farm because it was easier to cross and the cheapest alternative for a project expected to cost well over $200 million.

"'We don’t think that’s right or fair,' Knight said. 'Why should #OpenSpace and farmland be considered expendable?”

"Tuck O’Brien, a Portland resident and representative of Trout Unlimited, a nonprofit that works to preserve and restore fish habitat, said the connector would jeopardize the clean, cool headwaters of #RedBrook, a tributary to Clarks Pond in South Portland that is [one of the last] active habitats for #BrookTrout.

"Sadie Donnell, a #GorhamMaine resident, said the region’s traffic challenges present a 'huge opportunity' to expand public transportation and reduce the number of cars on the road, rather than move them from one road to another."

Our favorite sort of visitors are people who (if able) bike, walk, skate, scoot, or use public transportation. We met two such #Monterey County visitors on 10 Feb 2024: this couple from #Fresno who'd rented #bicycles to enjoy #cycling along the #PacificGrove shoreline and elsewhere. They were grooving on the sunshine after all the recent rains!
