It's going to be 750mm from a boundary.


That's the more limiting bit - at 2m+ you can have a max height of 4m
with a pitched roof. ISTR it also needs to be of a "substantially non
combustible" construction when close to a boundary. (although that seems
to be a rule pretty much universally ignored with near enough every
wooden shed in the land hard up against a boundary.

I think it's OK from Planning's perspective; taking into account size,
position and fraction of ground used, it should be "permitted development".


Indeed.

However, is there anything buildings regulations wise I should look at?
Inside is just less than 30 sq metres, it's going to be on a concrete
slab, and it will have a tin roof over Stirling board.


Not that I am aware of.

I wil be running electrickery to it some time.
