Is a wood deck part of the "building footprint"?

The deck is not under a roof overhang. It is raised above the ground a foot or so, and I believe there is grass underneath.

Does installing a vertical wall in building facade or interior contribute to this credit? I assume that doing so will also promoting biodiversity.

Accounting for natural, undisturbed vegetation

We have a natural creek with undisturbed vegetation growing on both sides as part of our project boundary, and I was wondering if the calculation is the same for plantings on site?

If the project team plans to install vegetated roof, can they earn both credits (SSc5 and SSc7.2) provided the installation meets the required area for landscaping?
