Narrative:
I was on final for hwd runway 28R. I was at approximately 400 ft AGL and hwd tower told me to go around. There was no one else in the area and I asked the tower why. He said a jet was getting ready to depart on runway 28L. This made no sense to me as I have been based out of hwd for many years and parallel operations have always been used. I asked again and the controller told me there was a 'new rule' that if a jet was going to depart 28L; no one was allowed to land or takeoff on 28R. Huh? Meanwhile; during this whole conversation; I do not recall if I ever read back the go around instruction; however; upon initial receipt of the instruction; I immediately leveled off and stopped my descent. Since I was lined up on 28R; I continued along that path; overflying the runway and executing a lazy climb from 400 ft back up to the pattern altitude (800 ft). A normal pattern was flown back for landing on 28R.
