As I've stated, from any insurance company's perspective:

This is likely to be subject to a commerical package policy sold via a broker.

It is likely they have fire cover as standard for the building and surrounding land. However as this land is subject of a current CPO insurers are likely to obtain legal advice as to prospects of success of any appeal. If it is deemed likely on the balance of probabilities that Archway would eventually have to move under the CPO process, then it would be arguable that no loss has occurred because of the fire.

The legal onus is on the insured to prove they've suffered a financial loss as a result of an insured event (it isn't enough just to demonstrate that an event occurred, although in 99/100 the two pretty much go together hand-in-hand).

They will likely have cover for stock, machinery etc. Depending on the terms of the CPO, this could arguably be claimed for under the policy as could business interruption.

My guess is however, that the insurance company would seek to force agreement for relocation quickly, as it would minimise its own costs. In this respect, they could hold Archway over a barrel to an extent as I'm sure that the insurance company would deem a quick acceptance of the terms of the CPO and relocation of the business as much preferrable than anything else.

Infact, I would even go so far as the insurer will rule out a liability decision until the CPO process has been completed, even if they did not have any concerns regarding the legitimacy of the fire and any claim.

That's interesting.

So the knock-on is that the insurance company will i) stop them being frivolous about the appeal process and ii) tie the hands of any silent (Russian) benefactor they may have?

Demands made to reject Tottenham Hotspur's lodge plans at their Enfield training ground

Demands have been made to reject Tottenham Hotspur’s proposal to build a new players lodge on its training ground.

Protesters against the Premier League club’s training ground in Hotspur Way, in Bulls Cross, have called for a protection to green belt land in the borough as plans for a 45-room lodge are submitted.

The two-storey lodge on Myddelton Farm, adjacent to the multi-million training ground, were filed to Enfield Borough Council two months ago and could see further development on green land.


Stephen Collins, of Lavender Hill, Enfield, is appalled at what he says, is continued “slicing away” at green belt land.

He said: “Tottenham moved up there in 2007 and all they have done since is carve and carve away at the green belt.

“This would be another example and it is shame on Enfield Council who have continually let them build whatever they like, whenever they like.”

A new 500-seater stand and floodlights were agreed at the training ground earlier this year, much to the distain of people living nearby.

Mr Collins added: “People come to live in Enfield because you have a mix of suburban and countryside. The green land should be preserved and protected but this is not the case.


“Enough is enough and the council must put their foot down and stop Tottenham, who aren’t even a team playing in the borough of Enfield, building on more precious land.”

Despite the calls, the football team are insistent that the proposals are “sympathetic” to the environment.

A spokesman for the club said: “The Club has submitted a planning application to the London Borough of Enfield for an overnight accommodation Lodge for players and staff. The application is for Myddelton Farm, which the club has owned since 2007 and which sits adjacent to the Training Centre. We have worked hard with consultants to design a scheme that is both highly sustainable and sympathetic to its environment.

“We have held a series of meetings with local residents, groups and statutory organisations over the past few months in order to discuss and adapt the design in order to address any points raised.”

An Enfield Council spokesperson said: “We have received a planning application from Tottenham Hotspur regarding this matter and will be considering the application in due course.

“This application is subject to full public consultation, the results of which will be examined as part of the overall assessment of the planning application before a decision is taken but because of the quasi-judicial nature of the planning process it would be inappropriate to comment further on this matter at this time.”

The proposal is likely to go to committee in early 2015.

Looks like it is just replacing what is all ready there, maybe using a bit of the garden as well.

I dont believe for a minute that a fan is the most likely source. How many people, however drunk, would think of burning a building down? And if it was something calculated then why not wait to see whether the CPO appeal succeeds or fails rather than risk prison unnecessarily? The appeal is only in Jan as well. You've have to be mind-numbingly stupid to do this

The drunk suggestion was tongue in cheek :) and I'd agree it's a ludicrous scenario. Indeed, I think it highly unlikely it's just a spurs fan acting just out of frustration for the reasons you put above. It wouldn't surprise me if vandalism occurred around an actual game, but at 4am ?

Money, somewhere, is the cause.

To my limiter knowledge, there's nothing to suggest ENIC/Levy have done something like this before. Likewise Archway. But what about other local businesses and maybe one who could gain from the NDP? Or whatever gang runs the local protection?

Just another thought I had today.... this does force archway to show their hand too. They say their business is worth £25m - why? Value of land? Buildings? Assets? Revenue? Lots of this must be declared now as part of the insurance claim. So they won't be able to stand up in court in January and say their outside loo is worth £80k if they filed a claim in December for £800. And if they try to claim £80k got that Portaloo from Direct Line or whoever it is, well that would be fraud, oui?

Well the insurance company aren't really interested in the value of the land to be fair. They're interested in the rebuild or reinstatement cost of the buildings

Yes, but it might well be something they need to declare even if not claiming.

And value of buildings is also going to be something they want to inflate in court which they can't
 
Re: Northumberland Development Project - Archway On Fire

A friend of a friend is a youth coach at the club and claims that the club's no.1 stadium target for the year away is Wembley and that this is likely to be where we will move.

"Don't shoot the messenger" etc etc...

*Runs for cover*

Tottenham await green light on multi-million pound 'player lodge'

Tottenham will learn early next year whether they will have the green light to build multi-million-pound player accommodation close to their training ground.

The ambitious scheme would see a 45-room “player lodge” constructed at Myddleton Farm, a stone’s throw from the site of their Enfield training base.

Standard Sport understands that as well as using the lodge to house their own players, Spurs would host other clubs and national teams preparing for games in London.

It is understood that, if the plans are approved, England could use the site before home fixtures, while Barcelona and AC Milan are thought to have expressed an interest in staying there when they prepare for European matches in London.

The planning application was submitted to Enfield Council on October 6 and Tottenham hope there will be a positive decision as early as February next year. Club staff then made a presentation to the council on November 4. There have been extensive consultations and Spurs are optimistic they will be given the thumbs-up.

The latest move is part of the club’s long-term project to provide an infrastructure comparable with those of the top clubs in Europe. Spurs’ new training ground, which was opened in 2012, is the envy of clubs across the continent.

The lodge would give the head coach the option of keeping his squad together in the build-up to home games, and would make it easier for medical staff to treat and monitor players.

By providing the best possible facilities, Spurs hope to have a better chance of doing better on the pitch. These proposed upgrades go hand in hand with plans to build a £400million, 56,000-seat stadium close to White Hart Lane.

Head coach Mauricio Pochettino takes a close interest in every level of the club is keen on the accommodation plans. Standard Sport revealed last month that Pochettino wants the club to alter its recruitment strategy for younger players, focusing on promising foreign teenagers as well as local ones.
