Spurs new stadium is really awesome!

Tottenham’s new stadium plans have moved a step closer after the club confirmed that the Northumberland Development Project planning application has been submitted to the London Borough of Haringey.

The ambitious project is to be delivered on the current site and adjacent land, thus ending any concerns about a move out of the Borough while providing major regeneration of the area.

A change to final plans sees one major improvement to the stadium design – the inclusion of a single-tier stand.

The stand is reminiscent of the steep Sudtribune at Borussia Dortmund’s Westfalenstadion, which accounts for 25,000 of the stadium’s 67,000 seats.

Spurs, who have played home games at White Hart Lane since 1899, hope to move into the new ground within five years.

The new stadium will house a 56,250 capacity, with the promise that spectators will find themselves closer to the pitch than at any other comparable stadium in the UK.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy said: “The submission of the application is a hugely important step for the club.

“This is a multi-million pound investment in the area which brings with it housing, retail, a hotel, a supermarket, expanded community services and jobs and an exceptional public square. We have designed what will be a vibrant area 365 days a year and not a stadium with dead space surrounding it.
