In 2013 CPRE North Yorkshire awarded a Sustainable Development Mark to the Courtyard at Settle because, quite simply the development fullfills the three criteria of sustainability and is sympathetic development.

On March 22 HRH Prince Charles visited the Courtyard.  Others attending were the Lord Lieutenant of North Yorkshire Mr Barry Dodd CBE and John Furness the High Sheriff of the County.  

Chair, Jules Marley said, it was an honour to meet His Royal Highness.
