The Barclays Premier League club last week failed in a bid for a judicial review of the decision, with the future of the stadium proving one of the more contentious legacy components of London’s Olympic plans.

Tottenham, which was joined in its bid by English Npower League One outfit Leyton Orient, had contested the Olympic Park Legacy Company's verdict that West Ham and Newham Council should become anchor tenants of the venue.

Wednesday’s announcement will now grant Tottenham the opportunity to make its case in a hearing at the High Court. Tottenham said in a statement: “The club has today applied to the High Court to renew its application for permission to bring a claim against the London Borough of Newham and the Olympic Park Legacy Company, the Mayor of London and Government Ministers for judicial review of their decisions underlying the bid process for the conversion of the Olympic Stadium after the 2012 Games.”

Tottenham had until 16:00 GMT on Wednesday to lodge an appeal. The club has been engaged in a long-running battle to secure a site for a new stadium with Tottenham’s current White Hart Lane home only able to hold 36,000 fans.
