The Club is delighted to present updated designs and plans for the Northumberland Development Project, which will be submitted to the London Borough of Haringey in the coming weeks.

Microsite: http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/new-scheme/
The improvements to the stadium are within the footprint and envelope of the existing planning consent and the key changes we are proposing include:
• A visually dramatic new stadium design - a landmark building for Tottenham and London, focussed towards the ‘Home End’, improved sightlines for all spectators and modern technology integral to the design from the outset to enhance the fan experience.
• An increased capacity stadium - up from 56,250 to 61,000 seats, featuring the largest single tier stand in the UK, now increased to 17,000 seats, with an unrivalled spectator experience throughout and spectators closer to the pitch than at any other comparable size stadium in the UK.
• Dedicated facilities for the NFL - including a fully retractable pitch revealing a second playing surface, compliant to NFL standard and capable of hosting a range of other events whilst protecting the integrity of the playing surface.
• An architecturally stunning new terrace on the High Road to host ‘The Tottenham Experience’ - a permanent Visitors Centre and Arrivals Hub including an interactive Museum to celebrate Club history and local heritage, a Cinema, the Club Megastore, Ticket Office and Café.
• A permanent viable use for the Grade II listed Warmington House - incorporated as part of The Tottenham Experience to house the new Museum, blending old architecture with new.
• Improved crowd management arrangements along the High Road - with the removal of three buildings that currently create a pinch point along Tottenham High Road where the pavement is just two metres wide - resulting in people walking in the bus lane and the road - allowing instead for a much wider pavement to cope with large crowds.
• Enhanced public open space - comparable in area to Trafalgar Square, includes a multi-use games area, high quality landscaping, cafes, dedicated events and community programmes managed by the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation, and the ability to walk uninterrupted all the way round the stadium.
• A new 180 bedroom hotel with a dedicated training programme for the hospitality industry - providing high quality accommodation in Tottenham and opening up new career opportunities for local people. 49 serviced apartments will occupy the upper floors.
• A fantastic new building to host Extreme Sports - bringing people to Tottenham on a daily basis with activities for all ages, including the tallest indoor climbing wall in the world.
• A spectacular ‘Sky Walk’ - an adrenaline-filled experience and attraction for all ages walking on top of the stadium with spectacular views across London.
• 579 new homes, including affordable housing - up from 285 homes in the current permission, meeting a key need for more homes in London. Set out across four new residential buildings, every apartment will enjoy access to a private balcony in addition to communal gardens and child play areas.
• A new community health centre - serving existing and new residents to the area, improving access to GPs and health screening.
Our target date for opening remains August 2018 for the 2018/19 season, after having played away for one season in 2017/18. We continue to hold discussions regarding possible venues for the season away.
Inside the stadium for THFC:
Increased capacity – up from 56,250 to 61,000 with the largest single-tier stand in the UK, increased to 17,000.
Inside the stadium for NFL:
Dedicated NFL facilities – retractable pitch & 2nd playing surface. Able to host other events & protect integrity of the playing surface
How the retractable pitch will work:
Surrounding Area:
Improved crowd management arrangements along the High Road - with the removal of three buildings that currently create a pinch point along Tottenham High Road where the pavement is just two metres wide - resulting in people walking in the bus lane and the road - allowing instead for a much wider pavement to cope with large crowds.
Transport Information:
The public transport infrastructure is already in place, with four railway stations and up to 144 buses an hour serving the stadium area. There has been significant investment over recent years, particularly to the Victoria Line which has already improved the quality and frequency of public transport serving the area, and there is much more investment to follow.
Many of the transport improvements being implemented in 2015-2018 were not committed in 2010 when the original planning application was determined by the LBH Planning Committee. Together, the planned and proposed service improvements envisaged in 2010 and the new investment being made by TfL, Network Rail and Haringey Council, will deliver significantly enhanced capacity for the increased number of supporters visiting the new stadium.
The Club is also playing its role with a ‘Green Travel Plan’, detailed transport information on our website and in match programmes, and active travel planning with supporters, rail companies and Transport for London.
The benefits of the transport improvements are already being felt and there has been a significant shift in travel patterns to the stadium area, with fans moving away from their cars and onto public transport. In 2003, over 60% of fans came by car. By 2014, that figure had reduced down to 42% for weekend fixtures and we plan to bring that number down to a maximum of 23% in the future.
Here is how we are going to do it:

In 2003, over 60% of fans came by car. By 2014, that figure had reduced down to 42% for weekend fixtures and we plan to bring that number down to a maximum of 23% in the future.
Here is how we are going to do it:
- The new stadium will be actively promoted as a ‘Public Transport Destination’ – just like Wembley Stadium, with service improvements, new shuttle bus links, better pedestrian connections, real-time travel information points, clear signage and regular transport updates on the website, in programmes, and directly to fans.
- The upgraded Victoria Line has already delivered brand new, faster and higher capacity trains – ending the disruption that supporters have faced for many years and delivering major service improvements. The Victoria Line will become the highest frequency railway in the UK with trains running every 100 seconds, each way, before a midweek fixture and all trains now running the full length of the line to Walthamstow by way of Tottenham Hale.
- Improvements at Seven Sisters station interchange are now well underway – with extra stairs from the southbound National Rail Overground station towards the Victoria Line Underground station completed and further work will be undertaken as part of the London Overground devolution to improve the quality of the station facilities for all passengers
- The White Hart Lane station train service is coming under the control of London Overground in 2015 – with brand new and higher capacity trains, similar to the new Metropolitan Line trains, and station improvements planned. This important project is now being developed by TfL, Network Rail and Haringey Council.
- Network Rail are scheduled to introduce ‘three tracking’ for the section through Tottenham Hale and Northumberland Park – which will entail the reconstruction of Northumberland Park station and significant frequency improvements for services to Stratford. Construction works should be complete well before the new stadium is finished.
- Better use will be made of White Hart Lane and Northumberland Park stations – and the Club will work with the two new Train Operating Companies to further improve match-day services and make better use of the 8-car service capacity with new queue management systems in place assisted by club stewards.
- White Hart Lane station will be redeveloped – with the creation of a newly-located station entrance, a new ticket hall and wider platform access. This redevelopment forms part of the regeneration plans for the west side of the High Road being led by Haringey Council. A planning application is expected later in 2015 with a target opening date of 2017.
- Northumberland Park station will also be reconstructed – to allow the introduction of a third track. The level crossing will be removed and will be replaced by a new and much higher quality footbridge. On a non-matchday there will be 4 trains an hour each way to and from Stratford.
- The removal of the Tottenham Hale Gyratory is now largely complete – with the final stage involving the construction of a major bus station at the Tottenham Hale transport interchange. The gyratory removal provides a simple 2-way traffic connection between the station and the stadium area.
- Upgrades to the Tottenham Hale station now have full planning and funding approval – and construction will commence in the near future.
- The Club will operate two new shuttle bus services – the first service will run from Alexandra Palace station by way of Wood Green (Piccadilly line). The model for this service is the Allianz Park service, which carries more than 3,000 Saracens supporters before and after games. A second service will provide a high frequency link between the upgraded Tottenham Hale interchange (Victoria Line and 6 minutes from Liverpool Street) and the stadium area.
- The Club will seek to minimise the need for bus diversions on match-days – so they are back operating in the High Road as soon as possible after the final whistle. There will also be increased use of the W3 and new high frequency shuttle bus services connecting to the Piccadilly line, as an alternative to the buses to the Victoria line at Seven Sisters.
- An expanded match-day Controlled Parking Zone will minimise the transport impacts on local residents and business – and will further discourage car use. The Haringey CPZ scheme is two-thirds complete and the Enfield scheme will, subject to approval, follow in the next few years.
- The construction of the new cycle superhighway commenced in July 2015 – CS1, as it is called, connects the stadium (at Church Street) to Liverpool Street. The route avoids major roads and will create a new travel option for supporters who live south of the stadium. A large cycle park has been built in Phase one of the development next to Lilywhite House.
