The new building will be value engineered to ensure the projected spend meets the remaining budget. This saving of £4774 should be easy to attain by searching for different suppliers for some of the internal fittings.

The generous donation of £300,000 from the Cobtree Charity Trust Limited for the Visitor Centre means the £300,000 from the Cobtree Manor Estate Trust endowment no longer needs to go towards the build stage of the visitor centre. The following is requested from this to ensure the quality of the project, to improve security and to help accommodate the additional visitors.
