Residents have been brought together in unity following the threat of losing their beautiful colourful skyline. The iconic Totterdown rainbow-coloured houses are at threat of being blocked from sight due to a new proposal to build a 12 story block of flats in front of it.
The new development, known as York Gate, would see 244 rental dwellings built as part of a multi-storey block of flats at the junction of York Road and St Luke's Road in Bedminster.
Should plans be approved by Bristol City Council, the 12 stories high building would block the sight of the iconic Bristol skyline in Totterdown. The view is not only unique to Bristol, but it has become a pinnacle of what the city is known for.
