Tottenham Hotspur confirms Northumberland Development Project
- A world-class scheme incorporating a new stadium with a capacity of 60,000, a Club museum, new shops, new homes, a new base for the
Tottenham Hotspur Foundation and important new public space.
- Delivered on the current site and adjacent land, ending concerns about a move out of the Borough
- No need for a temporary move during construction
- Significant local benefits and a huge boost to the area
- Potential catalyst for wider regeneration and further investment
- First public exhibition to open from 14 November - 18 November
The Club is delighted to announce that, having concluded an extensive review of suitable sites and viable alternatives, its preferred stadium
option is to remain at the Club's spiritual home in Tottenham - the option known to be the fans' favourite.
The existing 36,000 capacity stadium has remained unchanged for over a decade and the club is currently in the position of having 70,000
registered club members and a waiting list for season tickets of around 22,000 people.
The Club is preparing plans for a world class scheme incorporating a new stadium, Club museum, shops and homes, new facilities for the
Tottenham Hotspur Foundation and important public space. The plans will enable the team to remain at the current site throughout construction.
Daniel Levy, Chairman of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club said:
"The Northumberland Development Project would deliver a world class scheme and substantial new investment for Haringey and our supporters.
It represents a significant step in the growth of the Club, with a proposed stadium capacity of 60,000 and would provide state-of-the-art
facilities, important public space, new jobs and homes and a significant boost for the local economy.
"It would also enable us to provide a new base for the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation so that its award winning programmes can continue and
have an even greater impact in the local community.
"Tottenham Hotspur is proud of its roots in Haringey. We have been in the Borough for 126 years and the Club is inextricably linked with
this part of London. We believe that this scheme has the potential to create a truly inspirational environment for the Club and the community
as well as acting as the catalyst for the uplift of the wider area.
"We are at an early stage of what is part of our long term plans for the Club and now we want the views of local people and our fans. I hope
people will take the time to look at our plans and let us have their comments."
Councillor George Meehan, Leader of Haringey Council, said:
"I am delighted that Tottenham Hotspur has confirmed its commitment to remain in our borough.
"We have always regarded Spurs as one of Haringey's prime assets. They bring major economic benefits to our borough and carry out some
excellent community work through the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation.
"But more than anything, Spurs has played an integral role in giving a sense of identity to the area it calls home. Tottenham would not be
Tottenham without its football club.
"We have been working extremely hard to regenerate the Tottenham area, which suffered so much from industrial decline. Real progress is
being made, and it is extremely pleasing that Spurs has demonstrated that they share our commitment to this continuing regeneration.
"But, as always, we will consider very carefully any plans that are submitted to us, as we strive to ensure that a new stadium delivers
real benefits for all who live and work in the area."
The plans, which will be unveiled at the first public exhibition later this month, cover an area of around 20 acres including the site
of the current ground and the adjacent industrial estate. The new stadium would be sited largely to the North of the existing one.
In policy terms, the area is within the 'Tottenham High Road Regeneration Corridor' and identified in the Haringey Unitary Development
Plan (UDP) as a "major site for potential redevelopment" to act as a "catalyst for prime regeneration".
The transport infrastructure around the stadium is already in place, with 4 stations (White Hart Lane, Northumberland Park, Seven Sisters
and Tottenham Hale) and over 100 buses an hour serving the stadium area. Together these deliver a total capacity in excess of 90,000
passengers an hour.
The recent introduction of a match-day Controlled Parking Zone together with improved dedicated match-day services and a public information
campaign to supporters, means that just over a third of people now come by car with the majority using public transport.
The Club will now undertake a thorough consultation programme with the local community and will also continue to consult with supporters.
A first public exhibition is being organised to present the Club's vision for the area with the public invited to make comment on the plans.
These comments will be considered and more detailed information will then be presented at a second exhibition before a planning application
is submitted to Haringey Council.
The exhibition will take place in the Bill Nicholson Suite at the stadium during the following
times:
- Friday 14 November, 10am - 5pm
- Saturday 15 November, 10am - 5pm
- Sunday 16 November, 10am - 5pm
- Monday 17 November, 12pm - 8pm
- Tuesday 18 November, 10am - 5pm
As always we shall look to keep you, our supporters, along with the local community of Haringey, as informed and up-to-date as possible.
On Friday 14 November, the Club will launch a special section of the website dedicated to our future plans. Please visit it at
www.tottenhamhotspur.com/futureplans to see the emerging plans and to let us have your comments

Tottenham are planning to combine news of Damien Comolli's dismissal as director of football with ambitious plans for a new 60,000 seater
stadium. Comolli is expected to pay the price for Tottenham's dismal start to the season when club chairman Daniel Levy returns from a
business trip to th US next week. While Levy should take ultimate responsibility for the crisis, Comolli will be made the scapegoat for
sanctioning what has amounted to a disastrous £100million transfer policy. But in an attempt to deflect some of the attention away from
Comolli's departure - which will amount to an admission by Levy that the director of football/manager axis does not work. Tottenham
officials want to finally unveil plans for the club's new home on the same day. It is hoped that work will begin next year, with the new
ground being built alongside the existing stadium at White Hart Lane. Which in turn would allow Tottenham to continue playing on the
current pitch.
