And in case any one else ever googles this up, I think the answer is in The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 Permitted development H. The erection, extension or alteration of an industrial building or a warehouse. Development not permitted H.1...

But then I saw this, is there any chance he could just connect his shed to the building and call it an extension, or knock it down and build a real extension? 7.13 A permitted development right which makes permanent the time limited increased permitted development rights introduced in May 2013...
