Concrete Slab mix quantities

Are you planning to construct the building off the slab or will the walls have their own footing?

150mm stone and 100mm slab with light reinforcement is what I would do. But if you want to build off the slab I would normally recommend an edge thickening (and probably required if it's masonry).

As mentioned, an outbuilding over 30m^2 is when you need to get approval.
 
Minimum 150mm type 1 sub base (compacted size).

You can avoid mesh if you spend a bit more on fibre re-enforced concrete, at 150mm.

You will regret not insulating it. Sure it's not the biggest heat-loss area, but you don't want a condensation issue....
