that's a building permit issue, not a development permit issue. A deck being too close to a side Property line would be a development permit issue.

That's a link that lists off some development permit requirements for decks, including the distances they must be from prperty lines. It should be noted that decks can extend no further to property lines then the actual house can.

The standards are:
3m from front property line (6m in some cases - along certain streets)
6m from rear property line
1.2m from side property lines.

You can probobly get a relaxation to get a little closer to the PL, but you woudn't be able to reduce it down to 0.
