What is a maximum height restriction?

A maximum height restriction is a limit on the height of a building or structure that is set by law or regulation. It specifies the highest point that a structure can reach, usually in relation to sea level or ground level. This restriction is often put in place to ensure that the building or structure does not block views, create shadows or interfere with the surrounding environment. It can also be set for safety reasons or to protect aerodromes or flight paths.
