The club are hoping to be granted permission to build a new 56,000 all-setaer stadium next to White Hart Lane which will not only be used for playing home matches but will also have also include 434 new homes, a 150-room hotel and a supermarket.

"We have designed what will be a vibrant area 365 days a year and not a stadium with dead space surrounding it," Spurs' chairman Daniel Levy has confirmed.

"Our desire from the outset has been to create a scheme of major benefit for local people and to deliver the most fan-friendly stadium in Europe.

"The inclusion of a new single-tier stand combined with a fantastic stadium design demonstrates our absolute commitment to create the most atmospheric stadium for our supporters.

"Every fan will have an exceptional view of the action and will find themselves closer to the pitch than at any other comparable stadium."

If the application proves successful then Spurs plan to be playing at their new venue by the beginning of the 2012-13 season.
