April 2008 - Spurs began investigations into the Wingate industrial estate adjacent to White Hart Lane with a view to stadium expansion. December 2008 - Designs for the new stadium are unveiled. An intended completion date of the start of the 2012-13 season was revealed by Daniel Levy. April 2009 - Tottenham announce they will issue 30m new shares to raise £15m for the first stage of the proposed development. October 2009 - Planning application to Haringey Council is submitted. May 2010 - Tottenham withdraw planning application and submit a revised plan. March 2013 - West Ham are confirmed as Olympic Stadium tenants and Tottenham focus all attentions on the current project.

Archway asked a judge to quash Communities Secretary Eric Pickles' decision to confirm the CPO on the grounds that it was 'unlawful and invalid' but were told earlier this year that there was 'no legal flaw' in the decision-making process. The Metal Works was were denied permission to appeal but they were allowed to directly ask Court of Appeal judges to reconsider the case, although they did not take up the option. That meant Spurs could finally secure the last patch of land needed to start work on the new stadium that they hope will rival that of north London rivals Arsenal. The plan for the design of the stadium itself includes a one-tier stand - similar to Liverpool's famous Kop - at one end, and will be bowl-shaped in a similar style to  Arsenal's Emirates Stadium. The project further aims to regenerate the Tottenham area with a central square, shops, housing and the refurbishment of existing buildings included in the club's plans. Last November, a mystery fire gutted the Archway premises, which is alongside White Hart Lane's North Stand. The owners also say they received 'bomb threats'.
