You can run a spur from a ring socket circuit, if you are putting anything more than a socket on it then it should be connected to a fused spur unit with a 13A fuse. If you need much more then putting it on its own feed from the consumer unit may be more viable. You need local isolation in the shed to switch off power to all circuits. This can be done by having another consumer unit in the shed or an adequately rated DP switch.
Socket outlets need to be RCD protected. This work is notifiable to LABC under part p of the building regs.
