Swimming pool permits are required for any structure intended for swimming, recreational bathing, or wading that contains water over 24 inches deep. This includes in-ground, above-ground, and on-ground pools; hot tubs; spas, and fixed-in-place wading pools.
A swimming pool must be located behind the building line of the dwelling house. The swimming pool water line must have a setback of at least 1m from a side or rear boundary. Typically, the pool envelope decreases the existing landscape area (turf or gardens).
Generally speaking for both above and inground pools, your pool should be at least 10 feet or more from your house. This rule of thumb goes for any size pool you may be considering.
How close can you build a pool to your home? Local building codes typically require pools to be at least 5 to 10 feet away from the house foundation. Always check your county's regulations for specific requirements.

To maximise your practical space surrounding the pool, consider the paved or decked area around its perimeter to be approximately 50% of the pool's surface area.
