Tottenham given date for decision on new stadium

Tottenham Hotspur will find out on September 13 if their £400 million plan to redevelop White Hart Lane will get the green-light from Haringey Council, Goal.com UK reports.

However Spurs, who have been in discussions with the council for the past 18 months, must first submit the details of a transport feasibility study within the next 10 days or risk the plan being delayed even further.

There are also remaining details to be sorted out over plans for the stadium’s entrance from Tottenham High Road.

Yet Tottenham will be encouraged that there is a groundswell of support for the project, not only among supporters, but local residents too.

The council has received 299 letters in support of the re-worked scheme from groups and individuals and a mere seven letters of objection.

Furthermore, there are 15,578 signatories to a petition backing the proposal. The first application had 45 letters of objection but more of those related to English Heritage concerns, which the club are confident have been addressed.

Spurs’ proposal is to build a new 56,250 stadium to the north of their current site.
