Far enough away to allow it to grow and not encroach on the neighbours.
Also allow maintenance behind it. |

The ones in our estate are roughly 30 years old, and are about 30' high and 30' wide, with a 2'+ diameter trunk at the base, Think very carefully, as cherries are not the easiest of trees to prune. |

My concern would be the trees shallow roots. Most Cherries are considered small garden trees, but their roots can cause damage to lawns and patios.
Planting your tree 6 foot from your fence could cause trouble further down the line. |
