ok a bit of scrounging on works web site and I find the
Exempt Development code - excerpts from this are as shown:
Sheds, lawn lockers, green-houses, cubby houses, gazebos
Construction and use of sheds, lawn lockers, greenhouses, cubbyhouses, gazebos or other freestanding structures of a similar nature used in association with the occupation of a dwelling.
