You don't need planning permission providing that your 'permitted development' rights have not been removed by a condition on a previous planning permission.

Bye-laws note: you don't need building bye-law permission to construct a detached single storey shed, store, greenhouse or garage that has an internal floor area not exceeding 10 square metres.

You don't need building bye-law permission to construct a detached single storey shed, store, greenhouse or garage that has an internal floor area not exceeding 20 square metres provided no part of it is closer than 1 metre to the boundary, or that has external walls constructed of substantially non-combustible materials and a roof covering that would achieve an A.A. designation if tested in accordance with BS 476: Part 3.
