Steel security fences that keep people off Carlisles disused Waverley railway viaduct look set to stay for another year at least.
Security fences on the Waverley Viaduct
British Rail Board (Residuary), which is responsible for the Grade II-listed structure, put up the fences in 2009 as a temporary measure to stop vandalism.
It reapplied in 2011 to keep them for another three years but was knocked back by the city council, which granted permission only for 12 months.
British Rail is now asking for a further temporary consent for three years.
Again, planning officers say it should be given one year until January 31, 2014 in the hope that a trust might take on the viaduct and reopen it as a pedestrian route.
Their report says: Whilst the current fencing is unsightly, its retention for a further temporary 12-month period would be acceptable whilst a long-term solution is sought.
Councillors have the final say when the development control committee meets on Friday.

The plan is in early stages, but following a successful trial on Becher Chase day at the end of 2012, the fences will be formed around birch and plastic cores rather than the traditional wooden stakes to make a kinder fence in this years race (6 April).
The fences outwardly will remain the same, but will have with a softer core to be more forgiving, following the deaths of two horses, including Gold Cup winner Synchronised, in last years Grand National.

If good fences make good neighbors, it logically follows that ugly fences get neighborhoods riled up, said Beaumont City Councilman Mike Getz during discussion of an ordinance to control the type of fences visible from the street in Old Town.
The Council voted unanimously to approve an ordinance banning all fences except wood, wrought iron or brick in the Oaks Historic District, which was established in 1993 to preserve the historic character of the Old Town neighborhood. An overlay of city ordinances like the new one concerning fences is part of this effort.
The ordinance was proposed after an Old Town resident built a sheet metal fence that was deemed unsuitable to the character of the neighborhood, according to city documents.
Old Town residents are now prohibited from building fences (visible from the street) of sheet metal, chain link, concrete block, barbed wire or other building material without a variance from city council. The new ordinance also specifies height and location requirements, which are conditional.
Exceptions can be made for fences not in compliance if the applicant can prove it is historically sensitive or if absence of the fence poses significant hazard to life or property.
Getz said sheet metal fences are a hazard during hurricanes and also have other drawbacks, including being prone to rust and presenting a cutting hazard to children.
He proposed that the city have a work session to discuss expanding a fence ordinance to other neighborhoods in the city, not just Old Town.

Regulations governing fences, sheds, walls and perhaps even doghouses could be changing for Ojai homeowners.
Tonight is a discussion of whether there is interest at the council level in making some changes to our zoning code to clarify certain regulations that are a challenge both to our staff and the public, Ojai Community Development Director Rob Mullane told the Ojai City Council at its meeting Tuesday.
So the question here is, do we have codes that are workable? Do we have development standards that make sense, that really give clarity not just to staff, but to the public? said Mullane. The question that is before Council this evening is, does the Council feel we ought to be either tightening up our standards or providing different standards than what are there right now, which have been problematic for these two areas?
Among Mullanes chief concerns were the lack of guidelines regarding the height, size and number of structures allowed in backyards; the regulations regarding the location and height of fences, many of which require variances because of overly-strict guidelines; and the ban on any accessory structures in backyard setbacks.
In my view, we are actually lucky we have not had more very challenging applications coming before the staff, said Mullane. We have a prohibition on any structures in the rear-yard setback, which is a little unusual in that it does not differentiate between structures that require a building permit and those that do not. So theoretically a doghouse in the rear-yard setback is illegal.
Most cities allow at least small structures like tool sheds in the setback, but we dont, explained Ojai City Manager Rob Clark in a recent interview. In neighborhoods with small homes and small lots with little storage, this is a legitimate need. On the other hand, most cities also have limits on the size for accessory structures that are smaller than the main house, whether or not they are in a setback. Also they tend to have limits on the number of accessory buildings and lot coverage. Ojai has none of this either. We have had some code complaints and felt the policy should be addressed before we go out enforcing.
Ojai resident Kathy Zotnowski, who has had a zoning complaint filed against her by a neighbor, told the Council she feels the rules are not being enforced uniformly.
Currently at least two City Council members, the city manager, the city inspector, these 50 neighbors and a minimum of 100 neighbors all within a few blocks of our home all have accessory structures in violation of these same setbacks.
Ojai resident Bob Daddi, who also has had zoning issues with the city, told the Council, I dont want staff to come up with the standards, I want the public to come up with the standards. I have been asking for five years for you to come in and amend these codes. They are confusing, they are contradictory and they are erratically enforced.
