Tottenham: Spurs' legal challenge over development dismissed

Tottenham Hotspur football club has lost a High Court challenge over a regeneration scheme near its stadium in north London.

The Premier League joint leaders took legal action over Haringey Council's decision to grant planning permission for almost 3,000 homes and commercial development on land near High Road.

The club's lawyers argued the council failed to consider "heritage impacts" and crowd control issues.

Mr Justice Saini dismissed the case.

As part of the proposals between Haringey Council and developers Lendlease, named High Road West, up to 2,929 homes would be built along with a library and learning centre, office space, a new public park and an energy centre.
