Hi all, I have submitted my planning application for a hut in the West highlands. The case officer has changed the description to 'erection of a residential unit'. I have tried to explain that I think this is incorrect and why, but the reply is that 'as this hut is to be used for recreational accommodation then this is a residential unit'. Should I just accept this, or would it be better to argue further to try to have it described as a hut? My application falls 100% within the hut definition. I am worried that planning approval for 'a residential unit' would less likely be approved. Also had an issue about the fee, they first asked to pay £400 but are now willing to accept £202 'if I am not going to be putting any cooking facilities within the building'. Any advice or thoughts are appreciated!

No I'm not I am getting confused.
There was one there which said that the planning officer said wasn't a hut it was a recreational development or something.
If it's not an eco hut it doesn't have the same restrictions.
If it doesn't make sense just ignore.
I am trying to find the rules for eco hut planning permission.
Have a good day.
