Limestone View extra care housing scheme, SettleLimestone View extra care housing scheme is a £6.7million project to be built at Lower Greenfoot in Settle. The proposals for the scheme have been developed through a partnership of North Yorkshire County Council, Craven District Council, Housing 21, Keepmoat and SP&A Architects. Keepmoat which was the parent company of Bramall Construction Ltd and has now adopted the Keepmoat name across all its organisations.
This has meant that the County Council's elderly persons' home at Lower Greenfoot has had to close and will be demolished for the new extra care housing scheme to be developed. People who did live at Lower Greenfoot have now moved to alternative accommodation, however, they will have the right to return to the new extra care scheme when it opens if it is their wish to do so at the time.

The scheme will be owned and managed by Housing 21, a specialist social housing landlord with lots of experience of working with older people.
