“Privacy and dignity” will be protected by new regulations which means a host of commercial and public buildings must have separate loos for men and women, the British government says.
Any new or rebuilt bar, restaurant, office, school, or hospital — most non-domestic buildings, in other words — must provide men’s’ and women’s’ loos rather than what have been called gender-neutral lavatories in order to receive planning permission. The government say this will help protect “safety, privacy and dignity”.
Plans to make these changes have been in in the air for several years. A 2020 government-ordered review of “toilet provision” found “increasing numbers of publicly accessible toilets are being converted into ‘gender neutral’ facilities, causing problems for women and older people in particular”. In 2021 the government made moves to improve the overall provision of public loos by introducing tax relief on the facilities, and in 2022, Badenoch addressed Parliament to make a statement on the issue.
