Flying Height

When taking off and landing from an RAF airbase I was told to keep below 500ft until instructed to increase height, when I finely got clearance to increase height it was around 7 nm from the airbase, on return I was instructed to below 500ft at 9 miles out, as this particular airfield is 200ft above AMSL, on the QFE he was giving me I was well under the 500ft, so I had to skirt around any buildings/vessels and so on to keep legal.
What are the legalities of this flight and for them to give these instructions?
James.
