EAGLE: Leave larger width when filling with ground plane?

Hi All,
I'm new to Eagle as it's been over 10 years since I've done electronics and i'm easing myself bck into it (and having to re-learn A LOT).
I've designed a simple single side board that I am going to etch myself, and to save etchant (it's very expensive in the UK) I want to fill the big gaps on my board with copper, i.e. not remove them (see image below)
My problem is, the gaps between the copper pour and my traces is TINY, and i'm obviously not using a solder-mask so I'm not confident at all that I could time my etching so well, or solder without jumpers.
Does anyone here who uses eagle know how to increase the distance between traces and a copper-pour?
You guys all rock,

If you don't where to set that value, let me know and I'll take a screenshot of where to insert that value.
