- Will your home no longer be used mainly as a private residence?
- Will your business result in a significant increase in traffic or people calling?
- Will your business involve any activities considered unusual in a residential area?
- Will your business disturb your neighbours at unreasonable hours or create other forms of nuisance such as noise or smells?
