General Policy 2
GP2 permits development in accordance with land-use zoning if it respects site surroundings in siting, layout, scale, form, design and landscaping (b); does not adversely affect surrounding landscape or townscape character (c); and does not adversely affect amenity of residents or locality character (g). The officer assessed the crane's scale (5.6m high, 10.3m jib) and industrial estate location, finding it non-detrimental and relevant to museum use, thus compliant with these tests.
