Having been through a full SDZ in Clonburris and the tail end of an SDZ and an SDZ amendment in Adamstown, I like that plan-led approach, although I appreciate the clunky nature of them. In some senses, if the UDZ goes through as outlined, with all of the benefits and flexibilities Ms Scully is proposing, it is hard to see how any local authority would use an SDZ process, given the flexibility built into the UDZ. Is that Ms Scully's sense of the situation? Dublin City Council obviously has quite an experience of SDZs.
