Tottenham Hotspurs New Stadium Plans

Tottenham Hotspur has announced plans to build a 60,000-seat stadium on the site of its existing ground. The club revealed that the mixed-use Northumberland development project would include construction of a club museum, restaurant, homes, shops and community buildings. The stadium would be built on the existing White Hart Lane site and on land to the north of the stadium.

Tottenham revealed that it spent £4.9m in professional fees on the project and has spent £44m over the past five years in acquiring properties around White Hart Lane.

The UK club said it hopes to submit a planning application in 2009, and said the professional fees will be written off if planning permission is refused.

Daniel Levy, Tottenham Hotspur chairman, said: “I am delighted that we have now finally agreed upon a solution to the club's future stadium requirements and we must now remain focused on taking the stadium development project through the various stages of consultation and on to planning.”

Councillor George Meehan, Leader of Haringey Council, said:
"I am delighted that Tottenham Hotspur has confirmed its commitment to remain in our borough.
"We have always regarded Spurs as one of Haringey's prime assets. They bring major economic benefits to our borough and carry out some excellent community work through the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation.
