Thanks @dryad , I thought it was familiar, I do remember the story now which made headlines some years ago when we were living in Kent.

the house is in a fantastic position behind the sea wall with views out over the Swale to Sheppey.

I remember this too, caused quite a lot of bad feeling towards the Whitstable Oyster and Fisheries company who were accused of bullying tactics to get their own way.
They have had a few battles with the council over the beach too.
Shame the house is just falling to pieces now, where before it was well maintained.
