Convert cupboard into utility room

We have a deep cupboard in our bathroom that we were hoping to convert into a utility room housing our tumble drier and washing machine. To do this we would want to block off the door currently feeding into the bathroom and knock through the plasterboard wall that feeds onto the hallway, and install some recessed sliding doors into the wall so that we can block it off as and when desired (see highlighted section in attached floorplan). This will also involve some minimal plumbing work for the washing machine (the boiler is currently in this cupboard also - a combi boiler) and possibly some tiling work to make good on the bathroom side.

cat-flap through wall

a hole through our kitchen wall onto our patio would need to be made to install a cat-flap please. The depth of the wall is 29cm (just under a foot).

Garden Raised Paving

I currently have a raised paving patio in the back garden which I inherited from the previous owner which is crumbling. I need someone to take up what's currently there, levelled up and re-laid with new paving slabs. The area in question is 5m wide by 2.5m depth (Max). Can I get some quotes for these works, I have been advised that its a 2 day job (max).

Construct a workshop in back garden

We have recently laid a concrete base, with the original plan of building a wooden shed, however, we would now like to look at a more substantial building. We need help with whether we need planning permission etc and advice on what's possible in the space we have. The space is 14' x approx 10' 6" and ideally we'd like a building with a pitched roof, so that the space above can be used for storage. We would also like to install a wood burning stove, so we can work in the winter! Door would be on the short length wall and we would probably keep all windows to that wall, as the other 3 walls would be adjacent to the garden fence. We'd like to run electricity out to the workshop to run tools like a lathe, pillar drill and similar. And have some lighting, obviously :) If you think you can help with me floundering in the dark here, I'd love to hear from you... I'm sure my partner will be a bit more tech-conversant than me, but it's my mission to find us a builder - sorry!
