International audience This article addresses the sensitive dimension trying to see how, beyond the perspective of experience, it might help to analyze the normativity of land planning processes, and what make them conservative or innovative. By comparing land planning to a clinical activity opened to experimentation, creation and a non-instrumental use of norms, we propose a displacement of the sensitive dimension from a characteristic associated to the geographical milieu to a mode of relationship (cognitive, political, experiential) of land planning with the milieu. The way the sensitive dimension is configured partly conditioned the normativity of the land planning process and its openness to the individual subject. This reflection is illustrated by issues of the energy transition and analysis of wind power planning processes.
