Google it, you can build stuff without permission now if it meets certain criteria.

This is a good starting point to work out what you can and can't easily do

http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/permission/

You need more information than you have to say if its ok i.e. height, how close to the boundary etc

single skinned would never get through building regs unless its got a lot of insulation on the outside. You'll probably find you have to put more insulation in it than the rest of your house (I have more in my 4.5/2m rear extension than the whole of my house!) even with a double skinned room. There is also the floor & roof insulation to consider

yup. Unless its not notifiable (which is unlikely) then you will either need to submit full plans to them $$ or submit basic plans and have them come round and check stuff more often - insulation is one of the stages they will check (they may also do it when full plans are submitted but not sure)

Just did a read up, a shed is only notifyable if its getting power? Which isnt an issue providing its fitted by someone qualified?

Ah - if its just a pure workshop then it will be much easier. Not sure if it makes a difference the fact its attached or not.

Normally you can get away with much less with a shed/garage
