Baroness Ford, head of the OPLC, said: “We have made a unanimous recommendation to back West Ham and the borough of Newham as the long term tenant.
“This represents the very best legacy for the stadium.
“It is cracking for the communities of east London and a really good outcome for sport.”
Baroness Ford claimed that, contrary to reports the recommendation was a foregone conclusion, it was a tough decision.
She said: “I pay tribute to both bids. They have each put the most enormous amount of effort into bringing the bids forward.
“We were thrilled to have two robust competitors.”
A Spurs spokesman said: “We provided a first class proposal to support the sustainability of the whole project.
“It was never an option, however, that we would retain the running track as we believe this unacceptable for our supporters.
