Abstract For a Banach space E, it is well-known that a necessary condition for E to have the controlled separable complementation property (CSCP, for short) is that the dual unit ball B E ⁎ be monolithic in the weak-star topology. We prove here that when X is a scattered first countable locally compact space, then monolithicity of X turns out to be sufficient for C 0 ( X ) to enjoy the CSCP.
