Even though the SDZs were intended to be fast-tracked, there is nothing fast about an SDZ. It is an incredibly slow and cumbersome process. That is not a criticism, by the way. Clonburris, for example, took a long time but it was approved in 2018. The slowest part of the development of Clonburris was not the development of the a three-dimensional master plan; it was what happened afterwards.
