Tottenham Hotspur Football Club today confirmed that the Northumberland Development Project planning application has this week been submitted to the London Borough of Haringey.

The move marks a major milestone in the delivery of the Club's regeneration proposals and the final plans include one further major improvement to the Stadium design - the inclusion of a single tier stand.

Daniel Levy, Chairman of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, 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.

"Our desire from the outset has been to create a scheme of major benefit for local people and to deliver the most fan-friendly stadium in Europe.

"The inclusion of a new single tier stand combined with a fantastic stadium design demonstrates our absolute commitment to create the most atmospheric stadium for our supporters."

The existing 36,000 capacity stadium has remained unchanged for over a decade and the Club is currently in the position of having over 70,000 registered club members and a waiting list for season tickets of more than 23,000 people. The submission follows extensive pre-application community consultation carried out by the Club which saw 2,500 people pass through the doors of two separate exhibitions and overwhelmingly positive feedback received.

The Northumberland Development Project will represent an investment of hundreds of millions of pounds into North Tottenham, creating new jobs, bringing more spend into the local community and delivering new public open space including a world class new public square.

Haringey Council will now undertake its statutory consultation process before determining the application.
