In your defence (English English, not American English) English is a right mish-mash.
I'm just reading the book 'Roman Britain and why we speak English'
It's a fascinating story, if you're that way inclined.

Thanks for the recommendation, Brian. I had a look at the synopsis and will add the book to my list.
It is funny, I learned American English back in Brazil so many years ago and now I live in England, my wife is Scottish and I work in a global engineering company (over 55k employees) where I spend my days virtually talking to people all over the world. I can't discern anymore all the different the "Englishes" I hear or speak over the course of one day. With all the problems that our current times have, I find fascinating how it is possible for us to connect and share knowledge, experiences and opinions (good or bad), and overcome languages barriers.
Thanks for correcting me earlier with humour. I love to learn.

I managed to do the rest of the roof work today just in time for the rain. I still have the trimmings and fascias to finish, but at least now if SWMBO kicks me out of bed I have a dry place to sleep.

This ugly office building is at least 2.8 m above natural ground level, but after around two years of complaining to the planning authority, they said they thought it was 'probably PD'.
Now that my roof is done I measured the height and I am exactly at 2.5m.
It was odd to measure as the highest point of the ground was at a corner of the building but the highest point of the building is at its apex.
Now, if my neighbour measures from his side, the building will look definitely higher to him as his land is on lower ground than mine.
The floor is almost finished.

It is 2.5m to eaves though, adjacent to a boundary rather than to apex.
From the planning portal:
“If the outbuilding is within 2 metres of the property boundary the whole building should not exceed 2.5 metres in height.”
“If the outbuilding is within 2 metres of the property boundary the whole building should not exceed 2.5 metres in height.”

Sorry, my mistake!
I understand you. I had the same understanding until someone explained to me and pointed me on the right direction.
The regulations are not as clear as they could/should be.
