Tottenham Hotspur planning major development to transform north London stadium

David Quainton, 27 October 2009

Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has submitted an application to the London Borough of Haringey to develop its stadium, with plans that include a large public event space.

The proposals highlight an "exceptional public space and a focus for events and activities to be used by schools, charities, community groups, local residents and the council themselves."

The creators are hoping it will become a north London equivalent to Trafalgar Square in its usage.

The development plans also include a single-tier stand, hotel, homes and supermarket.

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