Hard to judge from photos, but it doesn't look like more than 15m2 to me. Mine's 16m2 internally, and it looks like half a house.
Garden room height came out at 2540mm!! 40mm over the what it should be :(

I don't understand what point you're making. Please explain.
My point is that the official government guidance doesn't state anything about area - floor, building or otherwise. Lots of unofficial sites give all kinds of numbers, e.g. 15m2 or 30m2 if non-combustible. But as far as I can tell this is all rumour.
It’s timber frame with metal cladding
Give us a diagram of the floor area with measurements. It doesn't look like it's over 15m2 to me.

It absolutely doesn't work like that (lawfully). The height is measured from the original existing ground level, you cannot (lawfully) add a bit of earth to make it seem like the ground is higher to begin with. That said some will inevitably do that and take their chances.
The floor area is a Building Control issue not Planning.
Whether you need planning permission or not is definitely a planning issue.
The rules seem to be based on gossip and rumour as far as I can tell, it's nonsense.

The official guidance doesn't actually state whether it's the ground level now, last week, before building or during the neolithic period...
The height of the building, enclosure or container should be measured from the highest ground level immediately adjacent to the building, enclosure, or container to its highest point.
The rules are rubbish, everything you're stating sounds logical but doesn't seem to be based on anything official.
and so, all he need do - is suggesting he lowered the pre-existing ground a couple of inches, when he laid out the base.
No need to bother, this is all just gossip as far as I can tell.
Just putting the word original in italics doesn't make it official. I've linked the official government guidance, it doesn't state anything of the sort.

Where we live ANY garden structure needs planning permission ….
That’s not the case in the vast majority of areas.
