Bettys applies to create new baby changing room in Harrogate tea rooms
A new baby changing facility could be created at Bettys' Parliament Street tea rooms if planning permission is given.
The company proposes changing the layout of its basement toilets to allow a separate room to be created for baby changing, rather than the current changing table within the ladies' toilets.
The building is Grade II listed so permission has to be given by Harrogate Borough Council for any changes to be made.
As part of the application, a design and heritage statement said:

The proposed design would replace the dark wooden panels and tiled flooring with new materials including limestone and timber, as well as updated decor including wallpaper.
A fireplace in the ladies' toilets will also be refurbished as part of the project.
