The problem is that you can't make decisions that will benefit you financially without declaring an interest. From what I understand either he will benefit if the bus stops right outside his shop or he will benefit if the shop needs to be compulsory purchased in order to develop the bus station.
The bus station development is about £3m and there were two possible sites on the table. If the other site had been selected he would not have benefitted so surely he should have mentioned that one site would benefit him and the other site wouldn't.
