Planning permission granted by Dublin City Council for part of a €500 million development located opposite Heuston Station has been appealed by two parties, one of whom says it "squanders" the opportunity to create "exciting and meaningful spaces and interesting links into the cultural and architectural treasures on its doorstep". Edel Morgan reports. The appeals relate to the 9.5-acre Westgate site which is located at St John's Road and Military Road and is jointly owned by Eircom and the OPW. A second 4.5-acre site is owned by the OPW.
