SPURS have today (Thursday) released images of what they say are the final designs for the new-look White Hart Lane stadium.

The project, which has been in the design process since 2007, has had a revamp by architects and will have to be approved by Haringey Council before work can start. It will be built on a site directly north of the current ground, with the former White Hart Lane land being incorporated into the new stadium's infrastructure. 

Spurs officials said today the new Lane will have:

• A 61,000-seat arena with the largest single-tier stand in the UK, boasting 17,000 seats for home fans behind one goal.

• A second pitch hidden beneath that can be retracted so the ground can host American football games.

• A Spurs museum and fans’ centre.

• The tallest climbing wall in the world, built in a new multi-purpose Extreme Sports centre on site.

• A “sky-walk’ feature, allowing fans to walk along the top of the stadium roof and see views right across London.

• Wider pavements and public areas for fans to gather before and after games.

• 579 new homes and a 180-bedroom hotel.

• A new community health centre.

A club spokesman said: “When complete, the Northumberland Development Project will transform the impact of the club in Tottenham. We will go from supporting 1,800 jobs, to supporting 3,500, and from generating £120million of annual spend into the local economy, to over £293 million.”

Chairman Daniel Levy said that the club would not only provide a new home for Spurs, but regenerate one of the poorest parts of London. 

He added: “It will be our new home for many years to come and we want it to be exceptional in every aspect.

“Schemes of this scale and magnitude must undergo continuous and rigorous review in order to ensure it is future-proofed and the design is optimised. We are determined that this scheme delivers something that becomes an iconic landmark, instantly recognisable around the world and capable of acting as the catalyst needed to kick-start the regeneration of this area.

“These new plans will be transformational for the area and the access and opportunities they afford our communities will be extensive.”

Mr Levy added that he believes work will be complete in time for the start of the 2018/19 season.
