Query
Criterion 2 (GRIHA Version 3) has a mandatory clause of preserving & protecting the existing trees but what should be done in case the site does not have any existing trees? Will the project straight away lose those 2 points?
Solution
There is a non-applicability clause according to which if there are no existing trees then criterion 2 (GRIHA Version 3) becomes non-applicable. So the points will also be removed from the denominator.
