Do I need Building Regulations approval to build a garage/shed?
Yes, unless the garage is detached, less than 30 square metres floor area and either built of mainly non-combustible material or located at least 1 metre from the boundary.
This advice applies equally to other small detached buildings, e.g. a shed, workshop, greenhouse, summerhouse etc.
You may still require planning permission. In all cases, if you are in doubt, contact Building Control for clarification.
