Plans for the Northumberland Development Project, which will include a new 56,250-seat stadium for Tottenham Hotspur Football Club (THFC) have been submitted to Haringey Council.

The projected capacity of the stadium has been reduced from 58,000 after the club revised the plans to incorporate a new 63-row, single-tier stand, which it is hoped will create "the most atmospheric stadium in Europe". In addition to the proposed stadium, the multi-million pound Northumberland Development Project also includes a public square, a hotel, new space for the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation and a supermarket, as well as new homes.

The new stadium, which was originally designed by architects KSS Group as a 60,000-seat venue in October 2008, will be built on an area of land covering 20 acres (8.1-hectares). The site incorporates the club's existing 36,000-seat White Hart Lane ground, as well as an adjacent industrial area. THFC chair Daniel Levy said: "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." KSS Group's David Keirle said: "The acoustics will be excellent, with the bowl design helping to reflect sound back onto the pitch whilst the stadium architecture itself responds to the Spurs identity, using flowing lines and a gracefully undulating roof to create a visually stunning building."

Moaz Nanjuwany, chair of the Tottenham Traders Partnership, added: "The Tottenham Traders are wholeheartedly behind these plans which we hope will lead to more jobs, more business opportunities and more people using local shops and services."
