Actually, as far as I can tell one part of the planning agreement was for the developers to fund a ranger to help monitor the area - probably one of this lot:
So on further examination, It looks increasingly like this is an American-style gated community for the wealthy, and that the new home-owners probably wouldn't even know what an angle grinder is, much less which end was safe to hold. And on further examination of the fence, one pair of bolt cutters and enough time to make 20 unmolested snips would be sufficient to restore the previous state of the locals' Allemansratten (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_to_roam).
Pretty sure that court case is for a different fence - the one in the Geograph pics is new and completely isolates the Archerfield estate from the sea. Even when the estate/hotel has properties right on the coast there is this fence (without a single gate) between them and the coast - along which there is a public path from which you can get a good view of the fence....
NB It's not really a gated community in that access to it from the landward side is easy - you just walk or drive in.
