The club announced on Tuesday that the final stage of the planning permission process had been reached, theoretically allowing it to start work on its new stadium now.

The news is overshadowed by legal wrangles that continue in the High Court over the club’s attempt to take over the Olympic Stadium after the 2012 Games, a competition won by West Ham Utd.

Despite this, the club said the signing of the contracts, known as Section 106 agreements, meant it “enables discussions” to continue with Haringey Council, the Mayor of London’s office and central government about making the project “viable and deliverable”.

Club chairman Daniel Levy has previously said the entire project, which includes a hotel, new supermarket and flats alongside a new stadium, was too costly and has looked to the government, City Hall and Haringey Council for ways to ease the burden.

Section 106 agreements are legally binding requirements used in large-scale projects compelling developers to pay the council to help improve local infrastructure and facilities, from roads to education to parks and more.
