Tottenham’s Hotspur club have lost in the High Court over a major renovation task next to their stadium.
The Premier League side have taken legal action against the Haringey Council’s resolution of August 2022 to grant building permission for a combined progression of advertising and advertising on land west of High Road, Tottenham, north London.
The proposals include up to 2,929 homes, a library and learning centre, offices, a new public park and an energy centre, which local authority officials said would be a “significant contribution to the regeneration of the area”.
The plans, which include the demolition of existing buildings, are expected to create thousands of jobs in structures and supply chains, shipping links and generate millions of pounds for the economy.
The effects on the assets were legally known and were considered to be compensated by the really wide audience that the transfer would bring.
Mr. Judge Saini
At a hearing in London earlier this month, lawyers for the football club argued that the council had failed to take into account the “heritage impacts” of parts of the plans, adding the indexed local buildings and the North Tottenham conservation area.
The club’s legal team also said the council had been “misled” about the “additional burdens” it would face in terms of crowd control, arguing that the proposed planning situations “failed to secure measures deemed mandatory to ensure crowd movement”. “. .
Haringey Council and promoter Lendlease (High Road West) Limited, both interested in the case, opposed the club’s challenge in the High Court.
In a ruling Wednesday, Judge Saini dismissed the club’s case, concluding that “this is a planning resolution for an allocation that will bring significant benefits to the community. “
“The effects on the estate were legally known and were considered to be offset by the really important public benefits that the transfer would bring,” the ruling reads.
He added: “There is an obviously supported progression plan for this progression and the regenerative effects of the task are of paramount importance to balance the planning. “
The opinion was informed that the council’s independent review had concluded that “crowd control measures to be taken and after the structure would provide at least equivalent provisions for stadium crowds queuing outside White Hart Lane station; and that after the structure, the scenario “The number of spectators in the stadiums will be improved”.
The ruling concluded that, thanks to the conditions of the planning, “there are safeguards that will allow crowd protection to be implemented and that can be implemented at each and every level of construction. “
He said: “In my view, the council was legally confident that the permit created a framework that would ensure that access to the stadium, which was a key consideration, would be carried out satisfactorily without unreasonable effects. “(The club) is moving on. “
