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!

@richard My planning finally came through! 😀 I guess it's now the fun starts, what with workloads, backlogs, material shortages and prices of most things through the roof.
