Planting a cherry tree by a wall

I bought and planted a Prunus Accolade cherry tree about a year ago. It is planted infront of my boundary brick wall. I am now worried I have made a mistake in planting it by the wall incase the roots cause damage. Any advice please?

    How close to the wall is it?

    About 40cm in front of it, so quite close. I'm wondering if I can transfer it into a large wooden planter lined with root control material and place that in front of the wall. Then try to prune it regularly to keep it at a smaller size.
    I was desperate to have a blossom tree in my garden as I love them, but probably should of done a bit more research before buying one.
