The document discusses neighbourhood planning, which gives communities the chance to plan their local area by deciding on land use, setting policies for change, and encouraging redevelopment while engaging the community. Neighbourhood planning allows areas to be locally distinctive but requires some core mapping. It matters to communities because it gives them an opportunity to shape their own area and network with others doing similar planning.
