What about building up the ground level underneath the deck so the deck is less than a metre off the ground? Then no permit required and no consent presumably.

Gimme $20k. You will receive some well packaged generic advice that will put you on the road to riches beyond your wildest dreams ...yeah right!
Thanx Paul. I think I have a solution. I am going to run a narrow walkway from that point along that side of the house to my other side which will open up into a proper deck not affecting her and actually being exposed to more evening sun and a landscaped garden. Even though my walkway will extend 10cm into that 2m zone, if I have a step or two, each landing is allowed to be 4 metres square and extend as close to the boundary as I like.
I will still approach the neighbour and ask for permission although I can get around it.
You could always make it 2 from her boundary? Is the extra .5-1m worth the hassle? You’ll have to excuse me because our boundary rule is 10m so .5m more is probably quite a lot for North Shore.
