Basketball court as a hardscape area

Dear all,

The school we are working on will have a basketball court on its roof. Could this be possibly counted as hardscape area for the purpose of this credit ?

Many thanks,

For hardscape to count toward this credit, you have to also earn SSc2.

Since playing fields as well as pedestian-oriented hardscape can count (the latter dependent on earning SSc2) then it seems like you should be able to do this.
