Coastal erosion: Landslide leaves house hanging over cliff

A landslide which destroyed a cliff-top house was caused by coastal erosion, experts believe.

The property on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent went over the cliff in stages last month.

Dave Petley, a professor at the University of Sheffield who specialises in landslides, said it was a typical example of a "rotational landslide" caused by waves eroding the base of the cliff.
