If the NCC and council regs say 900mm from the boundary to the wall and you end up with only 800mm then it is non-compliant. However, as per my first post " The surveyor can also certify it as an alternate solution but you may have to clad that wall plus eaves etc out of non-flammable materials. ". The 900mm is there as a way of a fire break between buildings should one of them become aflame. When you go less than that you may be required to increase the fire resistance of your house.
