Sorry GOB I was out all day...
As for going to the 2x8's instead of the 2x6's for the joists, that would be much better, less bounce, especially with only using 1x6's for the decking.
Other than that everything sounds not bad.
Only questions is what you plan is for the beam to support your roof. I am not sure what your spans between posts will be, or I would give you my recommendation.
As for the permit, better check with your county to make sure (around here if I am on the Saskatchewan side I don't need one (in some rual areas only) on the Alberta side I do need one.
Better safe than sorry anyway.
Fire away with any other questions.
