whether or not the proposal's residential use would impose living condition restrictions on the use of the existing commercial units
effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the existing occupants of the maisonette
highway safety with particular regard to the servicing and delivery arrangement and whether or not the development would lead to an unacceptable increase in demand for on-street car parking in the area
