It depends on a number of factors, you would be best to contact your local planning authority. BRegs is definitely needed, loads more detail needed on PP - anyone here would be guessing.

Building Regs not needed for single-storey building with floor area < 30 sq m.

As regards planning, don't bother asking because they almost always say 'yes' by default just to get the fees in. With detached garden buildings, you have to be careful. The building's use has to be 'incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling'; this would include, for example, a garage or room for pets, or possibly a hobbies room etc. But a lounge would probably not be permitted development and you would almost certainly need p.p. for that.
Why tell the Council about it anyway; if you keep to the prescribed height limits, you would be OK.

And you're still insistent his project doesn't require BRegs?

I don't deal in riddles; get to the point!

I think it would be cool
If building regs would give a pass
This is not a school
But it still has a class
