If it's a timber shed, then you can put it where you like, if it's a brick
built single skinned shed, then it has to go at least 1 metre from your
boundary fence.

Nope. If it's a shed of any material smaller than 10 cubic metres in
external volume (i.e. about 6' x 8') then (barring weird covenants)
you can put it where you like as long as it's not closer to the road
than your house

If it's higher than 4 metres (with a pitched roof or 3 metres without)
or covers more than 50% of the garden (in conjunction with all other
sheds etc.) or is bigger than 10 cubic metres and is within 5 metres
of the house the you need planning permission (see here :

E) and, as stated higher up the thread if it's really big (greater
than 15 square metres floor area) building regs kick in.

Building regulations don't cover temporary structures like sheds,
greenhouses or wendy houses, this is why they are called *building* regs,
anything else can be taken down and shifted.

Nice theory but wrong. Building regs and planning regs do cover sheds
and wendy houses over certain limits (which most sheds and wendy
houses don't exceed)
