I agree that the objection to the Haymarket project given by the government "was that the new tower would interfere with views of the castle" shows timidity. Better to be open & forthright and state that the refusal is because of the really boring design that is not in scale with the surroundings and does not respect the existing grain, If the site lies dormant & vacant until a developer with better values emergres so be it. If we have to wait 50 years for a better design and a better use at least it will preserve a great city from a piece of dross that woud be a blight upon the western approaches,
