Talk to your insurers - they set the limits on where/how close to buildings/how close to boundaries/how much (flammable) material.

The overall height will be a consideration of... your risk assessment... prevalent weather conditions/stability of stack/handling method(s)/insurers "conditions"

I agree with Roundtoit, definately an insurer question.
​​​​​​​Be prepared though, in my experience you will not be anticipating how for from boundaries and buildings your insurer will stipulate.

have a look at PM15 - Pallet safety. based on the construction of the pallet, grong conditions, visibility etc. so basically RA. The document used to stipulate that either way, the maximun height should no exceed 6 times the narrowest dimension of the bottom pallet. Not sure if the latest version of the document still says that but it is definatelly still available.

4th edition of PM15 published in 2014 no longer contains any references to specific stacking heights
