We have received the following from Paul and Jacqui:
Firstly Paul and I would like to thank you for all your letters of support for our appeal regarding the Purchase of 9, Sycamore Cottages. Some of you were aware the Derbyshire Dales District Council meeting was taking place on the 17th Feb 2011; unfortunately the Council have decided we do not comply with the Covenant and therefore will not allow the purchase of the property.
Paul and I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Jane Harris for all her support and care with helping us try to purchase this house.
Once again ‘Thank You’.
Kind regards
Paul and Jacqui Jesson


Presumably if Paul and Jacqui lived in the village already then the covenant requirements could be met. Would it be possible for them to rent somewhere in the village for a short time?
As i know my Mum would not of seen your kind message, I wanted to thank you myself, It has been a stressfull time to say the least for all involved in the house sale. Keep up the fight and i hope you will soon be able to enjoy the house which my Mum made such a great home for us for many years.
