A company obstructing the creation of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club’s new 56,250 capacity stadium has lost a high court battle over a compulsory purchase order.

Family business Archway Sheet Metal Works Ltd and the Josif Family Trustees challenged the decision made by the Secretary of State to place a compulsory purchase order on their land for the football cup’s stadium regeneration.

Mr Justice Dove rejected Archway’s request to appeal against the order after deeming there was no reasonable prospect of success.

Despite the possibility of another appeal, the Premier League club hopes this decision will now allow it to progress with its “flagship development in the regeneration of Tottenham”. In July last year, Ministers agreed with the order made by the London Borough of Haringey.

The eight-time FA Cup winners believe the development will provide the catalyst for the long-term physical regeneration of Tottenham and bring vacant, underutilised land and buildings back into use.

Archway, the owners of the last remaining land to be acquired for the stadium site, has 21 days in which to apply to the Court of Appeal. The company was launched by Mr Josef Sr who currently heads up the business, his sons later joined to help diversify the firm.

Compulsory purchase orders can be enforced to obtain land without the consent of the current owner.

The development project is said to create 250 local jobs. New homes are also expected to be on the horizon with the changes.
