Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

Anyone know if the grass surface has been replaced? There was talk about it, as it seemed a bit loose, and the head of playing surfaces wasn't happy with it.

F3 Architects’ Goods Yard proposals for Tottenham Hotspur FC

Tottenham Hotspur has won planning permission to redevelop a former goods yard near its new Populous-designed stadium with a mixed-use scheme featuring 316 homes.

The club secured consent from a planning inspector for F3 Architects’ plans after it took Haringey council to appeal for non-determination of the proposals.

The scheme earmarked for land next to the railway line to the north of White Hart Lane includes two towers, portrayed as up to 21 storeys in height, and a mix of lower-rise accommodation as well as community, retail, leisure and employment space.

It would also retain the site’s existing station master’s house, with the locally listed building proposed for conversion into a community café.

Spurs’ original application was a so-called “hybrid” and left matters of scale and appearance to be determined subsequently.

F3, which is based in Camden, said it was “delighted” that the scheme had been approved following a public inquiry in May.

“The scheme will kick-start regeneration in north Tottenham, building on THFC’s significant investment in the area, and the legacy generated through creation of the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium,” it said.

Planning inspector Robert Mellor said that although Haringey passed a resolution to refuse the scheme after appeal proceedings were begun, the council and the development team had reached agreement on infrastructure provisions and affordable housing levels before the hearing. Spurs offered a minimum of 35%.

Mellor said the scheme – and particularly its two towers – would result in some “less than substantial” harm to the setting and significance of the neighbouring North Tottenham conservation area, which includes the grade II-listed Grange building

But he concluded that there would also be some benefits to the site’s White Hart Lane frontage.

Mellor said that while the harm from the scheme would contravene some of Haringey’s development plan policies, “greater weight” should be attached to its compliance with the up-to-date National Planning Policy Framework.

“Benefits here outweigh the less than substantial harm to the significance of the heritage assets,” he said.

“The proposal is otherwise in overall accordance with the development plan and the appeal should therefore be allowed and a hybrid planning permission granted subject to conditions.”

LOL @ the courtyard view.

Why are there no shopping trollies and tyres? Also, why is nobody wearing a stab vest?
 
So...There's no noise on the sponsorship for the new Stadium, do we take that as nothing is happening, or that something big is about to drop? You'd think that all concerned would want a name for the place coming in to the season but of course I know very little of these types of negotiations.

As an aside, was mulling over tickets for the friendly against Inter and also ticket exchange for one of the NFL games but somehow it just doesn't seem right for my first trip inside our new home, needs to be a competitive proper football match with the mens team (Is that sexist? Don't get me wrong if I was local I'd 100% be there for the Ladies' first match there) and think it may be a while before getting that opportunity.
 

Probably just talking out of his ass cold reading, but yeah, I'd also expect us to announce something after the transfer window is shut. Can't let our opponents know we have a lot of cash to splash.

The reason we haven't got sleeve sponsors is this is getting tied up with the naming rights. If a deal is done, I would've expected it to be announced before the shirt was released.

Don't be silly its an opportunity for Levy to sell a new shirt again.
 
With AiA and Nike secured long term should help with refinancing the loans on the stadium.
If a stadium naming rights deal is being announced between August and October that might make sense as would link in with exposure in the run up to the two NFL games that take place early October.
 
I think that it would've been announced at the same time, if that was the case.
Indeed. Would seem strange to announce a new shirt sponsorship deal only if an agreement had been reached for both.

Looking at the finances involved here though the new deal seems to be double the last one (£20 million a year for 5 years previously I think).

If our shirt sponsorship is now worth £40 million a year I would've thought it is feasible to get 15 to 20 million for a stadium sponsorship deal. I would've thought that a £5 million a year sleeve sponsorship deal is also easily achievable based on the £40 million shirt sponsorship figure (unless AIA have paid us £40 million on the proviso that we don't have a sleeve sponsor? I think the biggest sleeve sponsorship deal is Arsenal's £10 million a year one with Rwanda, but I think there has to be a 100% controversy mark up on that one.
