    Can't change the shadow distance in HDRP as it doesn't exist, as well as cascades.

    But this problem seems to be caused by Near/Far Clip Plane on camera. Adjusting them just gives me a few more units without this problem.

    This is default Render Pipeline, I have removed cascading, and it's working perfectly. No need to change camera settings as well.

    Could you help me out or point me in the right direction, please?

    Please provide more information about Unity and HDRP package versions that you are using.

    Shadow distance and cascades in HDRP is set in the HD Shadow Settings in a volume :

    And you can also set punctual lights shadows near and far planes.

    I am using 2018.2.3f and standard set up of HDRP that come with creation of preview project. But the problem was my incompetence, though, there is very little information about HDRP settings overall as of now because it's new and still in preview.
