Planning Granted For New Spurs Stadium
Tottenham Hotspur FC has been granted planning permission by Haringey Council for the club’s revised proposal for a new stadium, which will see the Premier League club push ahead with the £400m development.
At a meeting that ran through to 12.29am, Tottenham were given the green light to press ahead.
Tottenham’s three applications were passed by majority verdicts, at a meeting that ran through to the early hours, after councillors debated the new facility.
In a short statement on Twitter, Tottenham said: “Stadium Update: We can announce that Haringey Council’s Planning Sub Committee has approved the Club’s new stadium proposals.”
The club plans to move into the new 61,000-seat stadium for the 2018/19 season, with the venue also set to stage at least two NFL matches each season over a ten year period (artist’s impression pictured above).
The plans must be formally approved by the London Mayor’s office.
Known as the Northumberland Development Project, the stadium project also includes a hotel, sports centre, health centre, homes and a Tottenham Experience, housing a museum and club superstore.
