Final Approval Given For White Hart Lane Redevelopment
Final approval has been granted for a £400m development of Tottenham Hotspur's White Hart Lane stadium.
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, approved the club's revised plans, which will see a new 61,000-seater stadium built on the site of their current home and features a retractable pitch to host not only football, but two American Football games a season.
The stadium, which has a current capacity of 36,000, will also host other international sports events and concerts.
The plans also include new public space to host dedicated events programmes, a 180-bed hotel, sports and health centre and the Grade II listed Warmington House will be transformed into an interactive club museum.
There will also be 585 new homes built on the site with a minimum of £48.4m secured from the residential development towards the White Hart Lane stadium improvements.
Londoners will also benefit from a 'sky walk' attraction, which will allow visitors to climb the exterior of the south stand allowing views across the capital.
Haringey Council gave outline planning permission for the redevelopment plans in December and now the Mayor has given his seal of approval, which it's hoped will put the club on track to complete the works in time to move back into the stadium for the start of the 2018/19 season.
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: "White Hart Lane is already an iconic stadium, steeped in history, and the new venue will not only almost double its capacity, but provide world-class facilities to watch Premier League football, international sports events and concerts in the heart of the capital.
"The stadium will also be the focal point of a major drive to regenerate Tottenham, breathing new life into the area, creating jobs and boosting growth."
Daniel Levy, Chairman of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club also said: "This marks yet another major milestone for this vital and complex scheme and we are grateful to the Mayor for his ongoing support. We remain focused on completing the final stages of the planning process.
"This new scheme carries enormous public benefits and will play a key role in kick-starting place change, bringing exceptional opportunities for the local community and wider stakeholders. We are proud to be part of this important step forward for an area that has been our home for more than 130 years and where we shall continue to live and play our part."
And Haringey Council Leader Claire Kober added: "The redevelopment of White Hart Lane and our work to bring new jobs and homes to Tottenham will improve the quality of life for thousands of our residents.
"The new stadium will put Haringey on the international stage with Premier League football and NFL games being broadcast around the world helping to attract further investment and significantly boosting business opportunities."
