Spurs gets planning permission for stadium move
LONDON (AP) - Tottenham has been given planning permission to build a new stadium next to its current base at White Hart Lane.
The Premier League club says it can keep up discussions with local authorities and the London mayor in a bid to secure funding for the potential move to the 20-acre industrial site north of its current ground.
Tottenham also hasn't given up hope of becoming the long-term tenant of the Olympic Stadium in east London after next year's games. It's mounted a legal challenge against West Ham's winning bid.
White Hart Lane has been Tottenham's home ground since 1899, but a capacity of 36,000 restricts income from ticket sales and match-day revenue compared to that of many Premier League rivals.
