<P> The Mayor of London gave his approval to the plans to redevelop the stadium on 25 November 2010 . The club confirmed, on 9 December 2010, that the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs had written to confirm that she did not propose to call in the planning application and that English Heritage would not be seeking further consideration of the listed building consent application for the Northumberland Development Project, the club concluded the Section 106 agreement with Haringey Council and planning permission was granted on 20 September 2011 . </P> <P> In December 2015, largely revised plans were approved by Haringey Council that would enable the higher capacity 61,000 seat stadium to be built as well as widening of the High Road pavement leading to the new stadium by demolishing three buildings (Edmonton Dispensary, The Red House, and the former White Hart Public House). </P> <P> Following the riots in the Tottenham area other parts of London and elsewhere in England in August 2011 the Greater London Authority and Haringey Council announced on 28 September that it would relieve the club of all community infrastructure payments that planners would normally require, estimated at £ 8.5 m, and to provide a further £ 8.5 m for regeneration and infrastructure projects . As part of the agreement an additional £ 9m was also committed by the London Borough of Haringey to improve services for residents in the area . </P> <P> Reports that the development would not be pursued resulted in concessions by Haringey Council on the section 106 planning obligations for the development . The initial demand of 50% affordable housing was abandoned while Spurs increased the number of dwellings to be created as part of the development from 200 to 285 market - rates homes . The initial Section 106 agreement for £ 16.436 m investment in community infrastructure was reduced to £ 0.477 m . The council agreed instead in February 2012 to produce an "area - wide regeneration masterplan" involving the mass clearance of the existing homes and businesses, the creation of a relocated White Hart Lane station and a walkway for fans from the station to the stadium, and the building of new apartments . This is a controversial outcome, given the high levels of deprivation in Tottenham and the high levels of demand for social housing . The club planned to rename the White Hart Lane station to Tottenham Hotspur . </P>
