Default Reinstating old outbuildings - need planning permission?

Hi all, hope somebody can advise. We're looking at buying a house in
mid-beds. It's an old, terraced property with a rear garden which used
to contain two brick outbuildings (now demolished).

The old foundations for the buildings are intact and the fireplace and
chimney for what must have been the old wash house are still there
(party wall with next door). I've got the drawings from
landregistryonline and, while the outbuildings are not shown on the
newer (1980) drawing, they do appear on the older (1955) one.

I'd like to re-instate the buildings, using the larger one as a
workshop and the smaller as a garden shed. I wouldn't be surprised to
find out that I'd need building control to sign off on the completed
work, but would I need planning consent for merely re-instating an
original feature of the property?

TIA
