I make the same mistake as well sometimes...Looking at the booklet in a little more detail, the plan seems to include The Goods Yard and B & M Site - the former being the site that Spurs took Haringey Council to court as they refused to consider the planning application - Court judgement was that Haringey failed on all counts (a 6 - 0 loss if I recall correctly) and awarded planning permission to Spurs.
Not sure where this ends up. Another court battle unless Haringey offer to buy the sites at a value which reflects the sites having a planning gain.
MaybeRocket will need to wait for his coffee a little longer

I believe anyone can apply for planning permission on land they don’t own. Not sure why you would do it though. Surely if it gets granted it just doubles the value of the land?
Spurs already have planning permission on both The Goods Yard and B & M Site so value wouldn't be increased materially if Haringey granted itself planning permission (or a Haringey/Lendlease JV).
Agree anyone can apply for planning permission on land they don't own.... but in practice it would mean the applicant had a plan or agreement to acquire the land ? Otherwise why apply for planning permission.
Thats my dream.
An artisan ethically sourced sustainable 5 quid a cup coffee shop,ran by two blokes called Jools and Ollie ,with visible chest hair and man buns. Loads of pictures on the walls of ex spurs players that they couldn't name if their skinny jeans and man bags depended on it.
Modern football..Love it!!

The aviation industry is absolutely fucked at the moment. Having to beg off governments and banks to lend them money to keep them from going bust.
I’m sure the workers at British airways who have been made redundant or forced to accept shit contracts will be thrilled about this news.
I can’t see it being legit.
I guess it depends on how long the deal is. If it is a longer deal it would be smaller payments.
But it is a good point that I was not up to date on. But it wouldn't be the first time that a big company did something like this.
Forgot you were still my Facebook friend.
I don’t know why we aren’t tapping up Amazon, Microsoft, Google or someone like that.
Those 3 own half the world anyway i don't think sponsoring a stadium in North London is going to do a lot for them.
BA would get more (air)mileage out of it...
The council are utter cunts. The only reason it is going ahead at all is because the contract was signed with lendlease before the current council was formed. Now it’s run by Momentum nut jobs who don’t believe in any private sector development partnerships so any future development in the area won’t happen under their watch. They don’t want the area to improve. They want it to continue to stagnate.
When the stadium was being finalized there was a model of it that was sent to Google's London offices with the Google logo on the side that made the rounds on social media.Those 3 own half the world anyway i don't think sponsoring a stadium in North London is going to do a lot for them.

We have definitely courted at least Google about the naming rights. But obviously that hasn't happened.
Google, Nike or Amazon would have been the big catch.
We’re more likely to get Uncle Jim’s Fish & Chips.
The chick king stadium
'Google' is quite literally a verb in several languages...safe to say the financial benefit to them of naming rights is basically zero.
