Appeal to stop building tower (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drawbar

'tower' is the definition.
(bar which helps to tow a vehicle)

'appeal to stop' is the wordplay.
'appeal' becomes 'draw' (draw can mean appeal or attraction).
'to stop' becomes 'bar' (bar can mean to stop or prevent).
'draw'+'bar'='DRAWBAR'

'building' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
