You are obliged to do it properly and that should mean testing the RCD operation and Zs of the circuit. You can DIY it but bear in mind there are legitimate safety concerns both with installation and operation, so it's worth doing some research.
Airhead-
Thanks for this, I'm doing the research and will test/have it tested if necessary.
Just wanted to ask, is it ok/a good idea to use a IP66 20AX DP Switch at the house end in order to be able to isolate the socket I put in the shed when not in use? From my understanding I don't need to isolate it at all, but I want to be able to and the above makes more sense than a fused spur in a waterproof housing.

Great, thanks. I'll probably do it 'properly' myself then. Means I can put some sockets in the shed as well.
