Once again - what do you consider as "normal grass". If you are asking about part of the credit "(turf grass does not count as vegetation)" - in my experience we made explanation that grass at our v4 projects is mix of different adopted or native vegetation (regularly 4-5 species), that is not gentle as regular mono species turf and has some aspects (colour, tussocks) that are part of landscape design. It worked.
Note, that v4.1 differs from v4 - turf grass counts, and the 25 % of "the required outdoor open space must be vegetated space planted with two or more types of vegetation or have overhead vegetated canopy".
