THFC chairman Daniel Levy said: "Schemes of this scale and magnitude must undergo continuous and rigorous review in order to ensure it is future-proofed and the design is optimised.
"We are determined that this scheme delivers something that becomes an iconic landmark, instantly recognisable around the world and capable of acting as the catalyst needed to kick-start the regeneration of this area."
The plan also includes provision for a ‘Sky Walk’ that will enable visitors to walk on top of the stadium and offer spectacular views across London.
It will also feature a new terrace, which will offer ‘the tottenham experience’ with a permanent visitors center and arrivals hub, that includes an interactive museum documenting THFC’s history.
An enhanced public space has also been planned for the development, which includes a multi-use games area, with cafés, dedicated events and community programmes managed by the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation.
THFC will play away from the grounds for a single season in 2017/18, following which, the new stadium is likely to be opened in August 2018.
Basement works have already been initiated for the development. THFC intends to continue with a tender process and additional planning requirements for the development.
