Bojan,
In an effort to not have to submit engineering calculations, I also wanted to avoid needed a building permit, so asked the council first whether I would need a planning permit. Due to size of property, copious screening trees and projected cost, they said I didn't need one, but would need to engage a building surveyor to assess whether I needed a building permit.
I ended up speaking to four separate building surveyors before I got the answer I was looking for: that I didn't need a permit if certain conditions were met (those that Matt listed in I think the second reply on this thread), plus being able to call the structure a shed (which I course I could).
So - I was left to my own devices to build a circular observatory with geodesic dome. The lesson here was that the rules were being applied very differently - depending who you spoke to.
