I think its a bit over the top to say that i could do what i like when its clear what i have done. I mean this is a technicality at most, even if i do need permission, its hardly something like a new house im building. Perfect example of why this world is the way it is today, you cant do anything unless it involves solicitors.

Actually you can do this without a solicitor.
I am suggesting you go see one, because you (presumably) have a copy of your tenancy agreement, yet you don't seem able to understand it.
If it were me, I would have read the whole thing from front to back by now, established exactly what I could, or could not, build in my garden without permission from the Housing Association, and then proceeded accordingly.
Sadly, you seem to have come on this forum with a set of pre-conceptions about your rights and have hoped everyone will just tell you how right you are, and how rotten the HA is being to you.
Well, they might be being rotten and unfair, or they might be being perfectly reasonable and acting within the terms of the tenancy agreement they have made with you. Only you can answer that, by actually reading the agreement, or, if you don't understand it, by getting someone else to read it for you - that would either be someone from the CAB, or a solicitor.
To be perfectly frank, you've already chucked five grand at your back garden, I can't see how you can be short of the dosh to buy an hour of a lawyer's time.
