Housing Land Audit

MORE AFFORDABLE houses were built in Dundee last year than private homes, according to the latest figures.
The annual Dundee Housing Land Audit for 2024, revealed that 483 homes were completed, 58% of which were for social rent.
Steven Rome, convener of Dundee City Council’s fair work, economic growth and infrastructure committee said: “It has been another positive year for house building completions.
“The Housing Land Audit is a fascinating insight into the city’s economic progress, and I would urge anyone who has an interest to get involved with the consultation.”
Lynne Short, depute convener of Dundee City Council’s neighbourhood regeneration, housing and estate management committee added: “New housing is the foundation of what we need to do to help make Dundee a more attractive place to live and work and only by working across private, public and social housing will we deliver for the city.”
The annual audit provides a source of information which is important to the council in its work monitoring the Dundee Local Development Plan, representing a factual statement of land supply within Dundee City Council’s boundary up until March 31, 2024.
This year’s audit has found:
During the 2023/2024 period of the audit there were 483 housing units completed;
the 483 completions comprise of 282 units (58%) of affordable housing and 201 (42%) private housing. This is the highest level of affordable housing completions in Dundee since 2006; and
83% of the completions in 2023/24 were on brownfield land and 17% were greenfield completions.  
Following the consultation period, comments from stakeholders will be reviewed and any amendments made as necessary before the Dundee Housing Land Audit 2024 is finalised and published.
