Garage construction. Stick build or blockwork?

No. I plan on doing it under Permitted Development. Have I missed something vital?
 

From all I’ve read I don’t see that I need planning for the proposed garage. 

Don't quote me, but on checkatrade it states the following:

Permission to build a garage? 

Well, this will depend on a few factors, but generally, no, you won’t need planning permission to build a garage. Garages are usually considered as outbuildings and don’t need planning permission. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule. If you want to avoid needing planning permission, ensure your garage:

• Has a floor space of below 15m2 if freestanding or 30m2 if attached to your home.
• Isn’t used as a living space.
• Isn’t higher than 4 metres.
• Takes up less than half of your land.
• Is only one storey high.

If your garage falls outside any of these regulations, you’ll likely need to apply for planning permission before building commences.

I'd like to know if these facts are true also.

@rich1899  I think that’s incorrect. Here’s the guff from the Planning Portal.
