Tottenham have applied for public funding to help resurrect the plan to redevelop their White Hart Lane home. In 2008, the Northumberland Development Project was launched by Spurs to turn the ground into a 60 000-seat stadium.
However, soaring costs meant the plan, which involved building a new stadium on the current site, was shelved. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy said:
"We are working hard to make the NDP scheme viable and enable us to stay in Tottenham and redevelop our existing site. Public sector assistance for infrastructure and public realm works would enable us to deliver the project and the RGF represents the single most important route for funding.
Our hope must be that there is a recognition of the real need for investment in the Northumberland Park ward and that this project presents a real opportunity to deliver sustainable long-term, private sector-led regeneration."
