58k was the earlier plan. 56k the approved one.
The recent planning permission is essentially one moving some parking spaces and adding a basement and a large changing room. It would be very strange of Levy took on Populous at additional expense just for a basement.
We also know from the revised plan applications for the north and south developments that a later planning permission for the stadium and connecting plaza would be needed. I didn't see revisions for the plaza in the new plans so I think we can expect another revised application for the stadium proper and plaza. Of course, this needn't change the stadium design, but then again why Populous?

Ha! So even if it eventually a legal challenge from the EC never materialises, it's supremely satisfying to know that bunch of bricks down the road will have a possibility of it rearing it's ugly head out of the blue sometime over the next decade.
Whereas we have now cleared all legal hurdles and will get our new stadium located exactly where our fans most wanted it all along.

And we'll own ours and receive all the associated revenue (concerts, NFL etc), whereas West Ham will be perennial lodgers.
Why would they contribute much to the remodel? It's like saying a landlord should demand a tenant installs a bathroom and kitchen in a house before they rent it.
You do know that it's not actually going to be West Ham's stadium? They've just won the right to have primary use of the stadium during the football season.

West Ham should have been paying the full remodel (half the price of a proper stadium) and no rent IMO and become co owners with shared costs for upkeep.
Interest on 200m savings would easily cover the taxpayers half of the shared costs of the upkeep. This is why its unfair on taxpayers.
Its even a bigger kick to the nads knowing that since the deal was struck TV revenue has risen 100m a season from 2016. Its not like they cannot afford it. Amazingly also the refit will be costing nearly double that of the initial stadium, I have seen written that the actual stadium cost was 90 to 100m. The rest of the original build fee is that of the infrastructure surrounding the stadium, the cleaning of the site etc.
For starters I would liked to of seen 20m of that money spent on buying up crappy flats and doing them up in the local area's just outside of central London to put up MPs who need to stay over in London.. no more bull$hit rentals of multimillion pound flats that are paid for by tax payers... fcuk all this second home bull$hit where MPs don't need to pay interest on mortgages of these second sometimes third or fourth owned properties. Ridiculous waste.

Tottenham in talks with the NFL to host American football in new £400m stadium
From WHL to NFL: Spurs in talks over hosting American Football

Tottenham are in talks with the NFL to host American football at their new stadium.
Wembley already stages three games a year and Standard Sport can reveal Spurs are also interested in a potentially lucrative tie-up with the NFL.
Spurs hope to kick off the 2018-19 season in a new £400million, 61,000-seat ground at White Hart Lane.
Designs produced by experienced stadium architects Populous, show a changing room in the East Stand which is significantly greater in size than either of those in the West Stand. The West Stand plans refer specifically to smaller home and away changing rooms suitable for football.
Standard Sport has spoken to NFL experts who confirm the East Stand zone would suit an NFL side. A typical “locker room” area must accommodate 53 players and 15-20 coaches — far more than is necessary for a football team. There must also be extensive space to house playing equipment, and provision for medical treatment as well as physiotherapy — which is factored into Tottenham’s drawings.
The plans contain a space for “taping, rehab, physio”. Taping is the practice of securing NFL players’ knees or ankles before or during games but the phrase is used far more in American sports than on this side of the Atlantic.
MORE ON TOTTENHAM'S NEW STADIUM:
Wembley has hosted 11 NFL matches since 2007 and there will be three more games there in October and November, with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions competing.
There has been at least one NFL match per year at Wembley since 2007, when Miami Dolphins took on New York Giants. Two years ago, Jacksonville Jaguars reached an agreement to play a home game at Wembley every year from 2013-16. The FA are thought to collect about £3m per game — so the incentive for Tottenham is clear.
Standard Sport understands the NFL believe Wembley is not ideal in terms of the experience it offers American football fans and would prefer a ground more suited to them. Spurs’ stadium could provide the solution and talks have taken place between the club and the sport’s governing body.
London is favourite to become the first city outside the USA to have an NFL team and the new ground would increase Spurs’ chances of being the base for a franchise.
The rough-and-tumble nature of NFL is enough to make a football groundsman wince but the financial benefits are clear. A pre-season tournament would provide a similar boost and is another logical source of extra revenue as chairman Daniel Levy tries to service effectively the cost of the new ground.
Spurs say the larger space would enable them to host summer competitions, similar to the Emirates Cup that takes place at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium. Presumably, they would do this by splitting the East Stand dressing room in two. They have refused to comment on its possible use for NFL but sources do not rule out a multi-sport venue, which could also stage concerts.
Populous handled design projects for Wembley, the Olympic Stadium and Emirates Stadium, and talk on their website of their “experience of designing 14 new NFL stadiums and three major NFL expansions”. The website lists offices in six American cities as well as three in Australia and one in London. There are also bases in India, Taiwan and Singapore.

So.. went and looked at the plans.. IMO its probably nothing more than a communal schools or two teams that rent the pitch type scenario.. then again.. you span to the left and you see another media conference room similar to what is under the west. I am also thinking the changing room is suitable for concerts where there may be many dancers.. etc

The tournament play is the official reason and large concerts is also plausible. However, would either need the taping room or the hydro-therapy room?

Taping room. Anachronistic term for a recording studio?
Hydro therapy room. Who really knows what goes on behind the scenes at a Lady Gaga concert? Maybe Levy's future plans for world domination include regularly irrigating his brain.
