If it's a timber shed, then you can put it where you like, if it's a brick
built single skinned shed, then it has to go at least 1 metre from your
boundary fence.

That seems to be exactly the opposite of what section 1 above
states.

However, as has already been said, there are many millions of
wooden sheds sited in such a way.

Section 1 deals with buildings, as do all the other sections! a temporary
structure is not a building, like a marquee, tent or dog kennel, a wooden
shed requires no building regulations, plans or anything else.

But you said a brick shed would need to be a metre from the boundary.
Section 1(b) says it doesn't (unless you use combustible bricks, of
course).

Class IV discusses exemptions for 'temporary buildings' and that is
defined as any building which is not intended to remain where erected
for more than 28 days. I hope my shed will last al little longer than
that :-)

Not according to my local planners and building control department.

If it's big enough to exceed the planning/building control limits then
it needs planning permission/to conform to building regs.
