I've asked around and haven't found anyone with experience in this situation.While USGBC is working on "internationalizing" LEED to recognize regional equivalents of standards, they haven't publicly done this yet for this credit or any others. I think you could make a case for it (particularly if you can find third-party evidence, i.e. studies, showing equivalence) but I don't know if it would fly.

Has this issue progressed since 2010? Has any equivalency been recognized between LEED and BREEAM? I am working on a LEED CI project in a BREEAM NC Excellent rated base building in the UK.

No changes so far. But you might want to check the international compliance paths. The USGBC keeps adding more so stay posted.
