New Stadium Details And Discussions

[SpurSince57]

More units than the existing design, I should think.

There seems to be a new pic on the future plans page on the OS

Personally I don't like it, i much preferred having a larger square in front of the stadium and the 2nd design of the apartments seem perfect to me

Me too, but needs must, apparently. The graceful curve of the Club Shop has gone too, and been made more angular. It's a shame that English Heritage scuppered the plan for the public space at the front in the first scheme, which would have been a facility for local people as well as much more aesthetically pleasing. Oh well, the locals can instead now assemble in droves to gaze admiringly at the architectural wonders that EH has preserved.

It may have already been discussed, but does anyone know if the additional story on the supermarket is to house the new Foundation offices, perhaps?

Sorry for being thick but which is the new picture?

 

[chrissivad]

the top one is the new one

 

[sherbornespurs]

Not that it affects me (obviously), but where is the location of the players entrance & official club car park/away team coach - any ideas?

Real shame the redesign of the the buildings has really downgraded their aesthetics.

Plans for a 150-bed hotel and “sky bar” have been removed from the Tottenham Hotspur redevelopment plans in favour of a college and nearly 100 more flats
The changes were discussed at a public meeting last Wednesday after being submitted to Haringey Council the day before Christmas Eve.
But they were not enough to dampen enthusiasm from residents and traders to get the project underway as soon as possible.
The original plans for the Northumberland Development Project, including a cutting-edge 56,000-seater stadium, were unanimously approved by Haringey Council’s planners in September 2010.
But changes have had to be made to make sure the project is financially viable in the economic downturn.
Derek Lewis, owner of Glickman’s hardware store close to the site in High Road, insisted Tottenham’s traders were still in favour of the redevelopment, telling the Journal: “The Northumberland Development Project needs to happen just to make sure this part of Tottenham doesn’t sink.”
Under the revised plans, set to go before the council’s planning committee on February 13, changes will be made to the proposed developments at either end of the new stadium.
The stadium plan itself remains unchanged.
At a development management forum held at Northumberland Park Community School last Wednesday, Spurs’ project director Paul Phillips said they would create a “365-days-a-year stadium rather than 30-days-a-year,” increasing the number of visitors by half a million per year.
At the north end of the site by Northumberland Park, the 24-hour supermarket would remain at ground level but club offices and a space for educational use would sit above it, instead of the original plans for a “sky bar”.
Hopes for a four-star, 150-bed hotel to the south of the stadium near Park Lane were scotched as the club could only attract two-star hotel operators.
The single, sweeping residential block also planned for the south end will now be divided into four “finger blocks” comprising 285 flats, up from the original 200, which will share communal space.
There will also be three storeys of commercial space created underneath the blocks.
If it gets approval, Spurs hope to begin work on the northern development by the end of the year, with the southern development unable to be started before the new stadium is built in around three years’ time.

Any ideas what the 4 buildings are going to be used for?

One's going to be used as a Gentleman's Club.

TBH looking at that design, I wish it would get changed back, I know we are desperate for a stadium, but area will be our home for most likely, the next hundred years

Plus less space for people, just to fit more apartments and a college, Also it is likely to create a worse environment for apartments if you have a college next to them in the weekdays and a 60,000 fans there on the weekend and possibly both during champions league

You think a Sky Bar would have been better for the neighbourhood than a College ?

I think the extra flats are going to ramp up the revenue and help recoup development costs

Not liking the new design at all, but oh well. Necessary I guess.

Yes, we can. Two of them are part of Spurs' history as well, but who gives a toss about that, eh? Not those who were happy to fuck off to Stratford.

The police also had concerns about that space, but let's ignore that, shall we?

Out of interest, what concerns did the police have about an open space. I clearly missed that - any links?

They were afraid that it would jump out and mug old ladies.

There will in the near future be separate plans submitted that will entail changes to the stadium and podium, regarding changes to the stadium itself there will along with various other changes, be an increase to the stadiums capacity from the previously agreed 56,250 to over 60,000. :grin:

Regarding changes to the the podium, the biggest news is that their are plans to remove the FOUR listed buildings, that have caused the club so much trouble both aesthetically and financially, it seems the club has got it's way over this, and the removal of those Four listed buildings will give the front of the development an uncluttered look, and free up public space that was lost by the extra 85 apartments.

Just going on logic having a big space for drunk football fans to congregate and mix with the general public after a 3-0 beating by a local rival seems like a recipe for disaster.

What you want is all the supporters to disperse when a game is over and a big open space right outside the stadium isn't really conducive for that.
