It isn't the material that drives the PP need - its where you live, its size and where you want to put it in relationship to other things around (including Highways and neighbours). See here and post again if you need more help. http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/england/genpu b/en/1106655490418.html
This applies in England; under devolved Government Scotland and NI do things differently, and Wales seems to be currently making up its own new rules (but don't expect too much different from England).
Also don't underestimate the energy and effort required to put one of these things up - including foundations and transporting it in its sections.

Cheers!! that helps - There is already a garage type thing where I want the new one but it was originally used as a stable, and is falling down!!!
The garage is approx. 2.4 x 5ish m and comes in 1.4m sections. We are surrounded by VERY high lleylandi but there is not foundation - maybe I should contact the planning office??

OK, sounds good. Just ask the Planning Dept for an informal meeting to discuss what you want to do then. If you read the PP guidance on the link I gave you above, you will seen its the height of the structure and its position that drives the need for PP or not. In 'potentially controversial' situations (which yours doesn't sound like) it helps that there is some structure there already, no matter how run-down it is, so don't demolish the old one until you have clarified with the PP. The fact that you have tall trees around doesn't change the price of fish from a Planning point of view (doesn't either help or hinder your case)
Only if you are in a Conservation Area, National Park, the Norfolk Broads or Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Without getting too involved in more detail (which I don't mind doing, but every situation is unique) your best bet is to be talking the Planning Officer. He/she will tell you if there are potential issues that would mean the idea goes against the local area's planning policies.
