Tottenham Hotspur has won its battle to move the last remaining business standing in the way of its new stadium development.

Following a two-day hearing earlier this week, Mr Justice Dove read out his verdict this morning.

Archway Sheet Metal Works had appealed against a compulsory purchase order (CPO) approved last year, ordering the business to vacate its Paxton Road site to allow the scheme, known as the Northumberland Road Project, to move forward.

Lawyers for Archway, which is owned by the Josif family, claimed the CPO was unlawful and that changes to the approved plans meant the CPO should not have been approved.

However, representatives for Tottenham, Haringey Borough Council and Eric Pickles, the Secretary of State for Communities, argued that all the necessary requirements had been met before the CPO was approved last July.

Court was adjourned yesterday before the verdict was announced this morning.

The judge dismissed all three elements of Archway's appeal, saying the Secretary of State was right to assume the decision to make the CPO had been made correctly, that Spurs had provided evidence they club was committed to build the stadium and that he was satisfied there was no legal fault in the process to grant the order.

He refused the firm permission to appeal, saying it had "no reasonable prospect of success".
