Tottenham Hotspur can start work on their new 56,000 capacity stadium after they were finally granted the right to buy the final piece of land that had been standing in their way.

Archway Sheet Metal Works, a large business directly adjacent to the North Stand at White Hart Lane, had fought a lengthy legal dispute over Haringey Council’s granting of a Compulsory Purchase Order, demanding they move to make way for the new stadium.

But at the High Court in London Mr Justice Dove found in Haringey Council and Tottenham Hotspur’s favour, dismissing Archway Sheet Metal Works case as largely semantic.

The family owned business had objected to moving chiefly on the grounds that Tottenham’s stadium may never be built, citing the fact they had previously intended to move away from the area to the Olympic Stadium in east London, and that the financial viability of the stadium depended on Tottenham qualifying for European football. These arguments were not accepted.

Upton Park West Ham vacate their home in 2016 to move to the Olympic Stadium and the possibility of delaying the ground’s redevelopment into houses by a year so it could be a temporary home for Spurs has been explored. But the delay caused by the land dispute case with Archway Sheet Metal Works would require developers to hold off for two years instead of one, which is less feasible.

But Chelsea, who are also looking to redevelop, have also enquired and the RFU has admitted so publicly. It would mark something of a sea change. The huge London ground has never been included in any English World Cup or European Championship bids either. GETTY IMAGES Where will Tottenham move to whilst White Hart Lane is re-developed? Olympic Stadium West Ham are extremely reluctant to share their new home with Tottenham almost as soon as they move in. Ultimately the decision is not up to them, but as anchor tenants of the publicly owned stadium they hold significant negotiating power. GETTY IMAGES

After a two day hearing, Mr Justice Dove, who had previously revealed he was an Aston Villa fan, told the court: “I am satisfied that there is no legal fault in the process.”
